Professional Experience (continued)
8/1996 – Software Engineer IV
8/2011 The Boeing Company Houston, TX
• Redesigned legacy software tools to operate in the Johnson Space Center (JSC) network environment rescuing $2M annual contract with NASA. The redesign assured not only The Boeing Company’s on-time and accurate delivery of updated Space Shuttle Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) Flight Software Documentation, but also improved time to produce deliverables by 90%.
• Reviewed for technical consistency and accuracy proposed software change requests
(SCRs). Integrated approved documentation and database updates under strict management change control, including text, diagrams, flow charts, and data tables.
• Ensured data integrity in ~12,000 parameter GN&C flight software database.
• Developed and modified software and database tools (C/C++) for International Space Station program (ISS). Tested embedded Ada software for code flaws impacting safety, reliability, and efficiency (e.g., division by zero, dead code, quantification of complexity, 100% test case coverage, etc.)
• Managed extensive metadata on ISS Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs) (e.g., manufacturer, dates, subsystem/location, Mean-Time-To-Failure, spares, etc.).
• Developed, by personal recommendation, Microsoft Access-based presentation for negotiations regarding changes, as well as associated cost and schedule impacts, to the ISS contract between Boeing and NASA. Successfully implemented major revisions to the presentation requested by Boeing Executives < 4 hours before the meeting.
12/1985 – Computer Systems Engineer – Land Earth Stations 12/1995 Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT) Bethesda, MD
• Developed comprehensive test procedures for computer systems upgrade in Land Earth Stations for INMARSAT Geostationary Satellite Communications (GEO) Systems. Performed real-time verification tests at the Land Earth Stations during periods of low-traffic, analyzing and documenting test results. Executed commissioning tests and deployed cut-over. To minimize latency, hardware interface processors operated RTX (Real-Time Executive), a streamlined version of UNIX.
• Initiated and implemented self-sparing plan to rescue 2-year $4 million project following failure of hardware manufacturer. Project provided abundant spares for newly commissioned systems for the Atlantic Ocean Region (AOR) and the Pacific Ocean Region (POR), as well as sufficient hardware to establish a Land Earth Stations
“clone” in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
