I am looking for a position in the Charlotte or Greensboro area. I have a very diverse computer back
ground, I am a very analytical individual. I know how things work. I am a very good C#/C/C++ software
engineer, I am good at applying computers and computer technology to solve problems from small office
solutions to complete office/plant automation, from simple camera controls to large machine control
systems. The majority of my experience has been hands on programming and problem solving.
My experience encompasses a wide range of microprocessor and computer related work. From low level
programming for microprocessors at the assembly (and C) level including handling interrupts and
interacting with support chips to office automation systems under Windows and Unix.
I am a very creative individual who can assess problem areas and provide efficient solutions to problems.
I have a good personality; I get along with others and work well in a team environment.
During my career I have developed software applications and systems involving the following
technologies:
Full Life Cycle Development (15) Many of the projects I have worked on in the past included full
product development. Including contact with the customer for requirements, creating specifications,
system selection, application design, tool selection, application implementation, testing,
documentation, customer acceptance, and ongoing technical support and system maintenance.
C# (7 yrs), Maintenance work on Standalone services, client server applications and data mining
presentation and back end support.
C and C++ (15 yrs),windows device drivers, real-time control systems, GUI development. From
small projects of a few hundred lines to projects with 150,000 or more lines of code.
Assembly (8 yrs), from the 8 bit Pic 16F1938 in C to the 8 bit world of Intel 8080, Motorola 8600,
Zilog Z80 to the 32 bit world of the Intel 80386 family. Creating assembly level routines to interface
directly to the registers on supporting hardware when necessary.
Unix(4) I have developed applications based on HP-UX, SCO-Unix and AIX. The projects ranged
from an inventory management system using Embedded and dynamic SQL, to a boot loader for a
remote system over an HPIB interface.
Windows (12)I have developed multiple applications to run on the various Windows platforms,
using windows 7, XP, 2000 applications. These are complete projects including the GUI interface
as well as code development. I have also developed DLL’s for use by other developers. Projects
have included the use of FTP and TCP/IP to communicate to multiple remote systems
simultaneously.
SQL-Informix/Interbase/Sybase/Microsoft (6) I have developed system using embedded SQL
for inventory management and purchase order tracking, as well as a chemical dispensing system
using an SQL database for chemical recipe storage. I have a familiarity with stored procedures and
triggers.
Multi-threaded (15) Applications. During my career many of the applications I have developed
have been multi-threaded applications, often requiring real time multi-tasking and multi-system
synchronization.
Trouble Shooting (15) With years of experience I have gained the ability to quickly identify and
solve “bugs” in software. Experience with various local/remote debuggers as well as in circuit
emulators, and logic analyzers.
RSView + Visual Basic (2) for development of man machine interfaces for use in the automotive
and aerospace industries. This project also included an introduction to the Logix 5000 system.
I have 15+ years in the computer/computer programming field, a degree in Electrical Engineering
and a degree in Math and Computer Science. With my experience and in-depth knowledge of
computers and how they operate, I feel able to quickly learn any new computer related
technologies.

Major Projects include:
Test data management for IC testing system. This involved unattended retrieval of files from remote locations,
processing industry standard STDF binary files, and placing the test results into a database. Logs were created for
tracking data. Responsibilities also included a C# .NET application to provide user ability to view and export test
information to statistical analysis tools, the test data viewer included extensive use of the Microsoft Grid View in
virtual mode. I also created a code level communications interface to an Electroglas 4090 wafer prober. The
interface made use of National Instruments IEEE-488/GPIB hardware and driver. The C# interface included multiple
threads to handle transmit and receive. The project also included the development of a prober simulator for
debugging.
Technical lead for enhancements to a large sales system involving multiple (1000+) retail locations. The system
includes concepts for redundant operation, data movement between retail locations, interaction with a distribution
management system, and mainframe, reports, ordering and receiving stock, and sales.
Designed and implemented a general purpose control system for controlling textile dye machines. The control is
DOS based using the PHAR-LAP DOS extender and the KADAK AMX real time executive. The system can handle
multiple user interfaces, and provides user configurable data logging capability. The system is highly configurable,
and will, based on assigned IO, self configure for handling various options and different types of machines. The
system includes a set of C++ classes for controlling Digital/Analog/Counter/Frequency I/O, as well as control
variables and timers. The project included Windows drivers for arcnet, making use of the windows interrupt call back
features, and a DLL interface to the arcnet driver. The system also includes TCP/IP for control to control interaction
and coordination of activities, as well as host monitoring. The base control has been used for a chemical dispensing
system, a hot water control system, and an automated dye dissolving system, a user interface front end for
dispensing and a dye machine control system.
Ported VRTX, a real time kernel to an Intel 80386 processor (AT hardware compatible). This included writing all
interrupt handlers for the normal AT hardware, some proprietary devices and the high level (“C”) kernel interface
along with documentation. This also included the design/implementation of a communications link to an HP/UNIX
system over the HPIB (IEEE-488, GPIB) bus.
Design and Implementation of a Real Time Data acquisition system for a Yarn Entanglement System. The system is
MS-DOS based, and provides operator control and report generation capabilities. Included in the system are
interrupt handlers for the DOS system tick for timing dependent operations, Serial interrupt handlers for an
industrialized keyboard interface, and communications drivers for an ARCNET network interface to the control
system. The system was a turnkey system and included all user documentation.
Design and Implementation of an Operator Control/Data Acquisition system for the Textile Dyeing Industry. The
system communicates with a data concentrator device, gathering data, generating reports and allowing operator
control. The system runs on an IBM-PC, CPM, and a multitasking version on the PDP11. The multitasking version
includes shared memory, inter-task messages for module to module communications.
Design and implementation of a circular knit pattern design system. This system is DOS based and allows the user
to create a pattern larger than memory. It has incorporated an automatic memory paging algorithm for larger
patterns. The system is basically an editor which provides for multiple files and cut and paste between multiple files.
It also provides a download program which communicates with a knitting machine for transferring patterns directly to
machines.
Co-designed/implemented an SQL (Informix, Unix) based parts management system for a leading race team. This
system provides inventory management, automatic ordering of parts based on usage, automatic purchase orders,
reconciles received parts with open purchase orders, allowed parts to be associated with jobs, job management and
costing. Other advanced features include a text based windows management system with context sensitive help and
security/logging on a per menu/per screen item basis. The system uses the Informix database engine running on
Unix.

Software design and implementation for a Z80 based remote control for a camera surveillance system. The system
consist of two Z80 based systems. One system was used as an operator interface, the other provided remote digital
I/O to control motors for positioning. A serial link (via RF modem) was used for data exchange between the two
systems. The communications link was designed for speed and is completely fault tolerant. The system was written
in “C” and is ROM based.
