Harris RF Communications, Rochester NY

Designed and developed the server side of Linux-based client-server software that drove a hardware based network simulator for performance testing of embedded software. The server controlled two independent subsystems via a custom protocol and serial port drivers.

Script server utilized a command and dispatch pattern for processing hardware requests from clients. Clients were developed on Windows with VB the .Net Framework communicating via TCP/IP and UDP for asynchronous server updates. The design was a scalable architecture that allowed rapid reconfiguration of system resources.

University of Rochester Laboratory of Laser Energetics, Rochester NY 02/2006 -10/2012

Lead Analyst/Programmer

Designed and Developed ICE/C++ Linux based client-server model controlling hardware to actively align large optical gratings. Hardware consisted of 48 active proportional-integral-derivative control loops, 56 temperature sensors. Server architecture modeled with XML hierarchy representation of physical hardware. The Client side software consisted of a Windows DLL called from within MATLAB and a menu driven test application. On time delivery and reliability of the Client/Server software was instrumental in meeting the project's aggressive build, test, and deployment schedule.

Redesigned and developed Laser Hardware Timing System with scale able and extensible client-server architecture to accommodate several generations of hardware. System advancements were obtained by use of modern C++ techniques/design patterns. System initialization and data logging accomplished through embedded SQL via Oracle ProC. The resulting system gained a 35% increase in system response time.

Developed ICE/C++/Qt Graphical User Interface client/server to control picosecond hardware delays. The QT GUI is dynamically configured by a server side low level USB scan of installed delay modules. Resulting in improved accuracy of the system based on the actual capability of the hardware.

Designed and developed a thread safe Application Program Interface for an Ethernet based CAMAC controller designed in-house. The controller is part of the hardware timing system that controls the system timing modules. Extensive regression tests revealed a serious hardware error which in normal operations would be extremely difficult to detect. The detection of the hardware defect early on in development saved a tremendous amount of time in the deployment of the new timing system.

Visual Basic Development

Redesigned and developed the Motor Control System user interface and underlying state machine which is tied into the laser system target state machine. Redesigned an intuitive Visual Basic user interface by iterating through a series of mock ups based on input from several laser system operators. The interface guides the user through the operation of the hardware and communicates workarounds to any error condition. The improved interface eliminated 95% of the failures due to operator error.

Developed the training materials and trained the experimental personal for the operation of the updated system.

Laser System Database Reports

Developed Matlab based laser energy reports for high-energy-density physics experiments. The development process integrated Matlab energy calculation algorithms, Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) data files, and experimental data from an Oracle Database. All Oracle transactions are accomplished from MATLAB's Database Toolkit which is ODBC/JDBC compliant. The reports are automatically generated at the end of the experimental shot cycle.

Laser Harmonic energy reports the requested and actual ultraviolet energy on target.

Near-field energy report developed for post experimental analysis of laser energy in the system.

Laser beam timing reports the requested timing of multiple laser beams in real time.
