Spectrum Technology Testbed Initiative (STTI) project (C#, .NET, SQL, Java Script, Windows):

1.

• Created entire hardware and software architecture, detailed OO design (80%), database design (95%), GUI design (80%)

for the entire development team; participated in software development

• Technically led, developed, and coached a team of up to 10 software developers and testers; p erformance of the team

was estimated high by the management

• Constructed software models for radio equipment; derived formulas and algorithms for Monte Carlo simulation

technique and time-driven simulations, vector transformations from the Earth centric to various coordinate systems,

spherical and elliptical geometry calculations, calculation of statistic metrics (coverage plots, histograms, average values,

etc.)

• Designed and developed class libraries

• Analyzed and translated operational requirements into software requirements

• Estimated resources and developed implementation plans for the elaboration and each construction iteration

• Wrote requirements and architectural portion of documentation (SSDD, SDR presentations), developed specifications,

and other technical documentation for development and when required by management

• Presented requirements and architecture to customers

• Collaborated with radio spectrum engineers in construction of models of radio equipment and mathematic algorithms

• Advised managers on design decisions, options, limitations; on software models and mathematical features

• Collaborated with architects and developers across the branch to share and utilize common technologies and to integrate

developed components

Project background: STTI is a suite of tools for radio spectrum engineers to simulate and analyze interference, desired

signals, etc. in communications of complex radio equipment. STTI is the client-server system that is scalable from an off-line

laptop to multi-server system accessed remotely and/or locally as configured. Major STTI components are:

STTI Simulation Toolkit (SST) performs simulations in systems consisting of multiple ground, sea, airborne platforms, and

satellites that carry multiple pieces of radio equipment. These objects and their attributes form simulation scenario

• SST is capable to simulate up to several thousands of Monte Carlo or time steps per second

• There are only a few similar general simulators have been developed in the world

• SST architecture is neutral to the scenario contents. The architecture provides editing and simulation capabilities

for scenario that includes general objects with both tree and graph relationships. SST includes:

• General editor of scenario objects and their attributes that may change in course of simulations. Business rules

(metadata) for all elements of scenario are stored in database

• General self-generating distributed simulation engine. Engine generation rules (metadata) are stored in

database. The engine optimizes calculations; its architecture allows multi-threaded calculations

• Framework for implementation of non-structured general calculations as sequenced calls of standard calculation

blocks. Simulation engine provides flow control in these standard blocks during simulation

• Usage of Digital Terrain Data (DTED) and databases that keep data on existing equipment and radio links

• Web and desktop 2D Map (GoogleMaps and MapSuite): viewing database data, editing scenario directly

on 2D Map, presenting and playing the simulation results

• Batch processors that, particularly, maximize usage of expensive COTS licenses (more than $10K per license)

• Revision control system that provides also the following features: logically separated user and batch workspaces

that also physically and logically separated from users; user’s authentication; STTI roles, permissions, and user’s groups

R&D projects:

2.

• Created entire design for a prototype; technically led and participated in development (C#, .NET, Windows)

• Created detailed object-oriented design for sophisticated graph optimization (Ant) algorithm

DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL SCIENCES CORPORATION (DISC), Lanham, MD

2005 – 2007: Principal Software Architect

Air Traffic Operations Manager (ATOM) project (www.discmd.com/atom/atom.html)

1.

• Continued development of architecture, detailed design, and development of ATOM (ATOM product was acquired

by DISC in 2005; see also Aerospace Engineering experience below)

• ATOM components designed and developed by me from 2005 to 2007 (C++, SQL, Windows)

• ATC METAR (weather) message processor and display for the user-specified airports

• System Health Monitor component that monitored health of internal network and all ATC message processors

• Ground Flight Match component that merged information on landed arrival and departure flights in airport (for

calculation of airport gate occupancy times and time-on–the-ground for airport billing and statistics)

• Interpreter (in C++) of general Boolean and arithmetic expressions including pre-defined functions with multiple

arguments that had form of general arithmetic expressions defined above. The interpreter was used for flight filtering

• Flight Data Display Manager component that received real time flight information from ATOM, mixed it with user

input, advertisement, and displayed it on flight arrival/departure screens located in airport public areas

• Provided help by phone to the customer IT personnel

Project background:

• ATOM is the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system for ATC Centers and airports. ATOM automates Area Control and

Terminal Control operations, airport management, real-time airport billing operations, and displays flight schedule and

advertisement on flight arrival/departure screens in public areas in the customer airports

• ATOM was operational for the last 15 years at Piarco ATCC until decommissioned in May 2013 (it provided all Area

Control operations in entire Eastern Caribbean). ATOM is operational at Barbados and Grenada international airports

• Since 1998 ATOM provides the stable revenue flow for DICS; last six years even without maintenance; ATOM automated

billing eliminated significant number of unbilled previously flights that considerably increased revenue for the customers;

ATOM automatically performs operations that previously air traffic controllers performed manually and also provides

additional capabilities to controllers. ATOM was demonstrated at International and domestic ATC shows

• ATOM is the client-server, mission critical, 24/7, self-monitoring, multi-computer/process/threading/database system

• ATOM was built by small team (1-3 developers) in contrast with the large teams that usually build ATC systems

2. R&D project: Designed and developed prototype: aircraft transponder signals were received by the ground GPS receiver

connected to PC and they were processed by software to register aircraft arrival and departure times (C++, Windows)
