Senior Programmer Analyst ALCATEL Toronto Canada (1990-1999)

Designed and implemented automatic train control systems for international clients, participating in all aspects of the project life cycle. Projects included: Docklands Subway System DLR in London United Kingdom, Kuala Lampur Subway System in Malaysia, Railway Transit System in Ankara Turkey, Subway System Muni in San Francisco in USA, DLR/LEWISHAM System in London United Kingdom.

Produced level one documentation description of VCC, level two (flowcharts in AutoCAD for all modules), level 3 (coding, interface sheet, pseudocode), interfaces with other subsystems, requirements, preliminary design, detail design, implementation, debugging, integration tests and unit tests, software maintenance. The VCC is an embedded real time subsystem used to full control trains on subways. Designed and coded the Vehicle Control Centre (VCC) subsystem which consisted of three interconnected Central Processor Units in ASSEMBLER for GA (General Automation) using MIBS operating system. Helped other team in the development and implementing of a non-communicating train design (NCT), in critical time of the project.

Transferred to Alcatel Vancouver Office to help a team in debugging and fixing VCC issues for a milestone release which was supposed to be used for validation and verification tests.

Debugged VCC subsystem, fixed problems and even creating a patch of more than a thousand line of code in a release version carrying passengers in London.

Analysed the data for Train Safety Distances, patched the data directly in the floppy disk release by shifting bits and added new patch code to accommodate the data for Train Safety Distances and other bugs. Without these quick bug fixes and the patch, the project opening in London would have been delayed for another six months and saved a lot of millions of dollars because the delay would have had penalty consequences.

Created a database in DBASE 4 to keep track of the developing process.
