Employment

July 2001 - Present: Manager, Application Software

da Vinci System, Inc., Coral Springs, FL., USA.

Managing the company’s software application group. Project planning, task allocation and resource allocation for the whole department. Hands on technical management. Responsible for software architecture and design. Architected and designed the company’s two flagship products, Resolve and Splice with Resolve nominated for 2010 Oscar technical award.

Resolve offers powerful image color correction capability. It is based on a distributed architecture with extremely large data transmission rate and extremely high image processing power. Resolve is implemented in C++ with extensive use of multiple threading, STL, TCP/IP and Qt. It is a portable system but the company currently only offers the product on Linux. Resolve has a scalable and flexible architecture that enables the company to address different levels of market. It is portable to different platforms and can be configured to use different data transmission mechanism, and different file systems. Resolve can also be configured to use hardware color correctors, software color correctors, or a mixture of hardware and software color correctors.

Splice offers virtual telecine capability. Customers can use Splice to replace expensive telecines (cost $1M each). Splice manages customer’s images on computer storage and feed them as video signal to customer’s traditional hardware color correction systems that simply treat Splice like a telecine.

Windows 2000/XP, Linux, Irix, C/C++, Qt, CVS, Purify, Microsoft Visual Studio, IB, HIPPI.

Nov. 2000 - June 2001: Chief Software Architect

ParkStone Medical Information Corporation, Weston, FL., USA.

Responsible for the software architecture of the company's next generation product. Developed a component based software architecture to support e-prescription application on different platforms such as PC with Windows NT/98/2000 and PDA with Windows CE and Palm OS. The architecture is also open to use different types of connectivity such as LAN, wireless LAN, wireless WAN, serial, USB, named pipe, dial-up and http. The architecture uses distributed system strategy to offer services. The services in the system can be duplicated and accessed in a location transparent way. The architecture is well received within the company as it positions the company to offer e-prescription applications on different types of PDAs using different types of connectivity. It offers both the company and the company's customers many benefits such as reusability, scalability, high availability, reliability, etc.

Develop coding standard and design patterns. Provide technical guidance for development team. Identify, interview and select potential candidates to staff development team. Evaluate new technologies to be used. Evaluate targeted software companies for potential acquisition.
