Head Developer at Ilium Technologies JavaProfessionals inc

1998 - Present

A co-founder and senior partner of JavaProfessionals inc. A software system architect, technical lead and senior developer. Designed and implement the Ilium Framework code, architecture and API.

Software and engineering services company servicing the Lockheed Martin Companies, Prat

Whitney, Northrop Grumman and direct government customers. New projects include financial services and other non defense related clients. Starting with B to B logistics software we moved into the defense sector. In the defense sector we have been exclusive to Lockheed Martin for Advanced Software Development and Operations Analysis for 8 years. Through the years we have had multiple contracts for service and support. We have done some truly unique work.

Our areas of expertise include dissimilar models and simulations. We developed the Ilium

Framework for the linking and merging of dissimilar systems. It's uses have also included in-silicon testing of deployed laser systems. Testing and verification of autonomous engines as they apply to Unmanned Air Vehicles IEEE articles about our work can be found at http://www.iliumtechnologies.com

The Ilium Framework is a pure Java framework with over 390,000 lines of code. Its currently being used for advanced UAV development relating to autonomous software testing and development. Its deployed in classified and un-classified environments.

The framework is used in Distributed Dissimilar Models and Simulations. It allows the ability to test modern software and agents against legacy models and simulations. It also allows for the layering and blending of simulations that were never designed to communicate .

Green Tab.

A prototype multitiered system for the training and reporting of soldiers at the NTIC. This system is an Android 2.2 and above thick client that communicated with the Ilium Framework to allow for situational awareness, analysis and reporting. .

Executive VP at Q4i

1997 - 1998 (1 year)

Q4i and Q4I.com was a sock trading and support start up derived from (at the time) current and ex wall street executives.

I was recruited as a contractor to come in and fix a "train wreck." I was handed a project that was failing. The project was a N-Tiered, thick client, web based stock trading system. The trading software had been deployed to stock brokers in New York, Chicago and Southern California. The project had failed. I was asked to fix it and then start along on the process to replace it with a system I would design. I was able to bring in some some contractors I had worked with before. I made a new team of developers which included one senior developer and two junior developers at Q4I, and the rest of the team in Southern California. With this group I was able get the deployed code up to a working level. I then took the group and started the next phase which was developing the next version of the system. (Very similar to what you now can find at "Interactive Brokers" today). During this process I was offered a full time position of Executive VP with the standard dot com carrots. I took the offer and commuted between Dallas Texas and Ventura California.

In the weeds:

This project was a Web Deployed Java 1.1 -Java1.2 thick client. The back end was Java 1.2 on Apache - Tomcat - Linux. Databases included Mysql and Oracle. There were multiple peers in the network to allow for the transmission of data too and from the stock clearing house. the protocol was FIX. and we played with serialization for transmission standards.

Consultant at Greg Boswell and Associates

1994 - 1997 (3 years)

More Detail Upon Request

Otherwise I went from contract to contract solving problems for companies as they called me. It was a stereotypical dot com programmer experience. .

As the projects became to big for me to do alone. I incorporated with a few friends and moved into a less dynamic mode.

Contractor, Independent Chemist at ...

1987 - 1994 (7 years)

Contracted directly to the Naval Civil Engendering Laboratory for research and development. I did product research development in advanced concretes, thermochromic coatings, advanced coating testing methodologies and other problem sets.

I developed ultralight weight concrete for a private company in the area of home construction.

I developed "for my own company" novel pesticides and brought them through the EPA and to

market on my own.. EPA registration's 63380-1 and 63380-2 for new pesticides. I found that the skills I developed in my chemistry life translated nicely into solving problems in Object Oriented Software.
