♦
single coherent, user friendly workflow, reducing the need for user
training, assuring data integrity, and tracking and organizing work.
Robotic Control System Project
Developed a software simulator that graphically presents robotic
♦
movements. This simulator dramatically reduced robotic development
time, improved the quality of the end product, reduced maintenance
times, and improved performance.
Turned error prone procedures into a user friendly system that reduced
♦
errors, virtually eliminated user training, generated e-mails to
automatically report robotic hardware errors, and logged all significant
robotic events.
Developed an operator alert mechanism that relieved operators of time
♦
consuming monitoring duties. The system had a direct impact on
productivity.
Biological Data Loading Project
• Responsible for the complete design, development, and implementation
of a flexible system for loading laboratory drug testing data into
enterprise databases.
