Employment

2018-2020 Building Automation Systems Programmer (Columbus, Ohio)

I programmed Tridium JACE controllers using Wiresheet, SQL, and Java for control of building HVAC equipment such as VFD control of WSHP loops, boilers, and cooling towers. Also, I programmed Cylon brand BACnet controllers using Wiresheet to control air handlers and boilers. I configured application-specific Cylon brand BACnet controllers for VAVs. Further, I developed front-end systems using Tridium Niagara 4 to integrate data from the JACE and Cylon BACnet controllers. I created graphic user interfaces so the customer could work with alarms, data trends, and scheduling.

I created the engineering submittals which included the control schematics, network layouts, panel layouts, and sequences of operations, as well as product literature.

I created several libraries of smart Shapes for use with Visio.

2006-2016 Tenured Professor, Urbana University (Urbana, Ohio)

I developed the curriculum and taught all of the following courses:

COS 101 Introduction to Computers,

COS 110 Introduction to Computer Science,

COS 201 Programming I, COS 251 Programming II,

COS 280 Computer Organization and Architecture,

COS 285 Introduction to Database Applications (Desktop DB),

COS 310 Business Operating Systems,

COS 320 Object-Oriented Programming – Java,

COS 326 Business Data Structures,

COS 330 Database Management Systems (Server DB),

COS 360 Computer Networking,

COS 370 Systems Analysis and Design I, COS 375 Systems Analysis and Design II,

COS 380 Management Information Systems,

COS 385 Decision Supports Systems,

COS 390 Multimedia Website Development,

COS 421 Internship in Information Systems.

Chaired the Faculty Technology Committee, 4 years (member, 8 years), Member of the Curriculum Committee 4 years and Web Advisory Board 2 years.

2000-2002 Senior Software Engineer, ITW Ride Quality Products (Akron, Ohio)

As a senior software engineer, I developed the specifications and coding for 386SX embedded computers, using Intel Assembler and C. Also, I developed and tested MS Windows NT C++ software for configuring and monitoring subsystems of the ASTEC and D70 machines. Further, I trained and assisted our field personnel in the usage of my software. I also resolved the duties of help-desk/IT for our engineering center’s network and data-backup systems including adding/removing users, debugging communication problems, installing operating systems, commercial applications (MS Office, AutoCad) and daily system backup.

1998-2000 Software Engineer, FACTS Incorporated (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio)

As a software engineer, I developed and tested QNX (a real-time operating system) software drivers to allow our control system to communicate with other “smart” devices such as blender controllers and variable-speed drives. I trained and led the field personnel in the usage of our software applications related to the company’s control systems used for fabricating plastic-sheet and mixing materials for polymerization. Also, I architected the software for the new MS Windows NT front-end computer to replace the old QNX front-end. The new front-end included all of the functionality of the old system and included a new software package to analyze data that was downloaded from the networked control computers. I used Borland C++ as the development environment. Further, I also created an editor to edit the recipes which were used by some FACTS controllers to define the input materials used to mix rubber products.

1990-1998 System Engineer, Honeywell H&BC (Brooklyn Heights, Ohio)

I engineered and programmed commercial buildings’ environmental control systems. I developed the layout and interaction of control components and drafting. Also, I wrote programs in Honeywell-specific languages (e.g. H-Pascal) for control. Further, I verified that the applications complied with building codes and specifications. I managed the installation, test and checkout at the customer sites. Also, I prepared all “hand-over” documentation and provided customer training.

1989-1990 Mechanical Engineer, Zanin-Hart Company (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio)

I worked at Zanin-Hart part-time while I worked full-time on my master’s degree. I drafted components that were used to construct machines that produced frit (colored glass crystals that are used to tint glass products). Also, I sized and toleranced components and fasteners/fastener-assemblies.

1988-1989 Research Engineer, Thermacore Incorporated (Lancaster, Pennsylvania)

I managed government research projects of approximately $50,000 in value. My projects included writing Fortran programs to analyze the time-transient nature of cylindrical heat pipes using variable thermal-conductivity heat-transfer plenums. I managed the development of a preprocessor to be used with the thermal analysis program that transient behavior of heat flow in heat pipes. Further, I documented the results of the development and prepared technical reports.

1986-1988 Research Engineer, B & W Alliance Research Center (Alliance Ohio)

I managed commercial research projects as large as $25,000 and partnered in management for projects as large as $120,000. I created drawings that defined how to fabricate models of power boiler apparatus. Also, I provided on-going clarifications to the customers about our progress. Further, I oversaw the technicians who gathered data during the tests of the models. To provide meaningful results, I Analyzed and numerically reduced the data. I prepared technical reports written in a manner that non-engineers would be able understand and be able to apply to make their boilers more efficient.

1985-1986 Mechanical Engineer, Pleasant Precision, Incorporated (Huntsville, Ohio)

I was the engineer responsible for special projects including writing software in Basic to determine volumes of plastic-injected molded parts and to determine whether complex geometries were amenable to injection molding. Also, I worked with machinists to verify capabilities of the special projects.

Engagement

9/2016-5/2018 Robotics Coach at Benjamin Logan High School (Bellefontaine, Ohio)

As a volunteer, I help lead a team of students participate in the FTC and NRC robotics leagues. I have taught them how to program Java on Android phones for the FTC robotics league. Also, I have taught them how to program in C on NXT controllers and Python on Raspberry Pi controllers for the NRC robotics league. As an aside, I have also taught how to program in C on Arduino controllers.

Foreign Languages

German
