EXPERIENCE

	Software Engineer
Saint Louis, Missouri	January 1996 - Present

Designed, coded, integrated and tested various enhancements to the Focus application, a 3-D Radiation Treatment Planning System written in C for Hewlett Packard and Silicon Graphics workstations. Responsibilities also entailed demonstrating new features to customers and potential customers.

Rehosted the Focus Application from HP-UX Release 9.07 to HP-UX Release 10.20. The rehost involved approximately 500k lines of C language source code and 10k lines of Unix shell scripts.

	Engineer-Electronics
Saint Louis, Missouri	January 1989 - January 1996

Designed and implemented a rehost of Program Loader/Verifier (PLV) to the MS Windows GUI environment using Borland C 4.5. The application, which interfaces with the F-15 aircraft's external communication buses, was originally written for a dedicated 8 bit microprocessor.

• Completely redesigned and wrote the user interface to the program, adhering to modern GUI standards.
• Wrote the Software Coding Standards documentation for the project.
• Presented my work and explained my design to the U.S. Air Force customer, incorporating their feedback and comments.
• Gained proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint to produce documentation and presentations for this project.

Served as programmer, network administrator, and database administrator/programmer to a small software development team. The product, a computer based training system called F-15 Aircraft Maintenance Trainer, was written in Borland Pascal for the MSDOS environment.

• Wrote a fully relational database system in Paradox Application Language (PAL) to manage the 1000+ video images used by the trainer.
• Managed a small Novell Netware based LAN for about twenty users.
• Trained all new users on the network.
• Worked in a small team environment to write Interrupt Service Routines in Borland C to display Digital Video Images on the trainer.

Designed, coded, and documented a complete file translation and transfer system in Microsoft C for use in loading software onto F-15 aircraft. The system, called Translate/Transfer Utility, ran on a ruggedized portable PC running MSDOS.

• Designed, coded, and tested approximately 8000 lines of code in five months.
• Served as the USAF's point of contact/user support person for all of the software that I wrote, once it was in use at Air Force bases worldwide.

	Senior Programmer Analyst
Iowa City, Iowa	June 1986 - December 1988

Designed, wrote, and maintained a variety of on-line and batch applications, primarily for the Registrar's Office and the Admissions office, and written in PL/I for an IBM mainframe environment. Created an integrated system for the Admissions Office for automatic generation of admissions letters. Supervised one other Programmer Analyst on this project.

	Applications Programmer
Oak Park, Illinois	May 1984 - August 1985

Adapted various traffic engineering packages to a Vax/VMS system, many of which were designed for an IBM environment. Designed, wrote and debugged all of the software for a real time system to measure the accuracy of the 60 Hertz power line frequency.
