• Wrote new driver for new SBC on Patriot Missile. Designed, coded, and tested driver prior to hardware availability. Driver ran correctly the first time it was used with the new hardware. Wrote a hardware emulator in ‘C' to emulate the new hardware and tested the driver on this emulator. Emulator and actual hardware communicated With the SBC using TCP/IP.

• Maintained Jovial Language Cross Compiler. Project required all aspects of compiler design, including trouble shooting parser and code generation issues. It also included adding new features, syntax and instructions to the language. Compiler runs on a UNISYS mainframe; generates code for the Patriot Missile Weapons Control Computer; and is coded in UNISYS Jovial and UNISYS Assembly Language.
