As a Software Engineer with over eight years experience I have learned that simple & verifiable code yields solutions that are are accurate, maintainable and robust . Software that works right and requires little modification is software that ages well and reduces costs. I am seeking a position which requires an engineer that prioritizes and values these Software Attributes.

Software Engineering Skills:

Designs with Object Oriented mindset to meaningfully adapt customer requirements to software instructions

Familiar with Agile Methods so that tasks are succinct and rewarding

Prefer automated documentation tools (like Doxygen) to generate UML design artifacts; insuring documentation and code stay in sync

Bug Prevention and Testing Cost Reduction Skills:

Focus on explicitly defining code to prevent mistakes from automation/generation

Comfortable with C++ Templates to maximize reuse and reduce amount of code to be maintained

Conscious of testing methods that overload multi-threaded scenarios and exercise all logic paths

Use of debugging and test automation tools ensure my code is repeatably verifiable

Proponent of C++ libraries:

Standard Template Library

Adaptive Computing Environment (ACE)

Boost

Data Distribution Service by Real-Time Innovations

General Skills:

With experience as a science demonstrator and educator I emphasize communication with teammates for success

Strong science background, focusing on physics and astronomy
