Working with engineers in the design of overall system layout, data transfer over networks (both local area and wide area networks), ensuring data integrity and networking protocols are met.

During this period, I also served as primary software engineer on the Turbulent Air Motion Measurement System (TAMMS) for the Atmospheric Science Branch. This required the complete re-configuration and development of a real-time airborne data acquisition system, which consisted of a VXI crate driven by a sun system. The system was changed to an onboard pc host controller, and all the supporting data acquisition software was converted from C to C++. Post analysis and data reduction software was also supplied in both C++ and Interactive Data Language (IDL)

1987–1997 Nasa Langley Hampton, VA

Engineering Technician Software Engineer

As a member of the Atmospheric Science Team, I received technical specifications in the form of research requests, drawings, plans and statements of work from engineers, scientists and senior technicians. These typically involve interpretation and understanding of complex goals, objectives, mission requirements, work packages and various types of information needed to meet their objectives. Given this information, my responsibilities include decisions governing the selection of software packages, the design, implementation, and documentation of algorithms, applications and supporting source code. When hardware is needed to interface data systems, computers and network systems, my task included the selection for the type of equipment, acquisition of hardware and integration of these components into the system.
