Geophysical and Environmental Research Corp. 1999 to 2000

One Bennett, Millbrook, NY, 12545

Senior Software Engineer

• Single-handedly completed a multi-tiered airborne scanner image data processing application from analysis, design, implementation, documentation, and customer support to training. The programming was done in C++ on Unix Solaris 2.6 SPARCstation-10 by GNU C++ 2.7 and X (X11/Xt/Xm) libraries with estimated lines of application's source code 10500 and that of class libraries' 9000 plus five MS Word 7.0 documents totaling 300 pages.

• Developed a hi-res scanner control and analysis application on HP Jornada 540 Pocket PC running MS Windows CE 3.0 with MS eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0, which connects with a scanner through RS232 serial communication, fetches spectral data from scanner, and plots radiance graphs with a multi-thread design.

• 1 year, Radar Digital Imaging, C++, X Window(X11/Xt/Xm), Unix/SunOS, RCS, Win CE 3.0, MS eMbedded C++ 3.0

Canadian Pacific Railway 1996 to 1999

401 – 9th Ave. SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Business Application Designer Builder

• Designed and developed client and server GUI software for the centralized train control system from the ground up, which employs NT 4.0 and OS/2 2.3 clients and SCO Unix server. The development arsenal includes MSVC++ 6.0, MFC, RogueWave C++ toolkit, XIPC messaging communication middle ware, IBM VisualAge C++ 3.0 and MS Win32 API. The architecture of software is shaped by Object Modeling Technique of Jim Rumbaugh, Design Patterns of Erich Gamma.

• Designed and developed a data transporter using IBM MQ-Series and XIPC middle ware to ferry data between many UNIX clients and NT Oracle database server to profile railway traffic flow for the purpose of aiding transportation planning.

• My capacity in the aforesaid projects involved hands-on analysis, design, implementation, providing advises and conducting code reviews for other team members. Maintaining a responsive contact with internal customers and testers alike and keeping a close eye on project progress were another perspective of my mandate.

Senior Programmer Analyst/System Admin

• Developed a virtual database interface to SQL or non-SQL databases such as Oracle, Foxpro, Dbase, and Clipper through an ASCII "configuration" file which binds a user defined virtual database to one or more specific vendor database, therefore insulating the application from the inevitable dbase change whether it be column data type or table-to-table relationship. The virtual dbase is equipped with merging columns from the same or different table and/or converting data type when required.

• Developed and maintained petroleum information software suite of LogBase, GeoWell, and GeoSection through use of the cross platform GUI APIs of WNDX2.04 and XVT4.0.

• Developed an X/Motif GUI program to channel data between Schlumberger's GeoShare software suite and Datashare's along with many dbase data preprocessing utility programs and UNIX sh scripts.

• Managed system and network services (NIS/NIS+, DNS, SMTP) and internet connection (POP3, ISDN, and Firewall) for about forty SunOS workstations and PCs (Slackware Linux). Administered an Oracle database to mirror client database setup for software development purpose.
