2. Senior Principal Software Engineer, Second Sight Medical Products 2005 – 2013
Clinical Data warehouse (CDW): Specified, designed, and built a general purpose science/engineering/clinical data warehouse
(CDW) for development and release of the Argus II, implantable 60 pixel electronic retina. (Java,/Groovy/Grails/Linux/MySQL)
CDW adapts automatically to changing science data formats. Uptime since 7/ 2012 > 99.99%. FDA (21 CFR Part 11) audit passed
with positive comments only, and 1 bug report was entered in the first 6 months of operation. Successfully used track and resolve
several anomalies and answer questions from regulatory agencies in the US and EU.
CDW Second generation: Architected horizontally scalable semantic data store and demonstrated REST semantic queries to meet
projected increase in data volume as Argus60 implant enters commercial production. (Scala/Semantic Web/Jena/Fuseki/Linux)
Argus II Clinical Fitting System: Developed data capture and management system: Data management system designed to support
modifications in data formats without software modifications or further validations. Data flows from the fitting workstation to CDW
(see above.) Operating without significant change since 2006, handled several format changes without any reporogramming.
(Windows/Java)
Principal Software Engineer, Advanced Bionics Corp 2000 – 2005
Developed software engineering process (use cases with Rational tools) for all Bion project software, compliant with all relevant US
and EU regulations.
BP Bion “Clinical Fitting System” Developed infrastructure, communications, database and utilities. (Also to be used with Deep
Brain stimulator (DBS) for managing Parkinson’s disease. This included a common database with an abstract schema, serial infra-
red and Bluetooth communications. Commonality was achieved by shared communication protocols. (Java, PostgreSQL)
Developed telemetry and charging analysis to monitor device state and the charging process. Real time log data captured using an
infra-red (IrDA) signal from the remote control and charging station. Telemetry data using a common grammar was captured in real
time and published as excel spreadsheets (coded in Python).
RF Bion (Miniature, injectible electronic neurostimlator with real-time power and charging.) This device consisted of a neural
implant, a real-time magnetic charger to be worn externally by the patient, and a real-time external radio control unit.
RF Bion Real time remote: Developed real time infrastructure, user interface, system manager. Led system test effort. (Real time,
C, ThreadX RTOS on Hitachi SH2 32 bit microcontroller) Testing conformed to applicable medical device standards.
Senior Engineer, McDonnell Douglas/Boeing 1989 - 1993, 1995 -2000: Senior engineer/lead/architect
LANCE: Satellite network control: database services. Architect and lead database developer. (Unix/C++ /Oracle/Rational Rose)
LANCE was a shared satellite command, control, and communication facility for use by several government agencies.
Developed database architecture such that most of the schema and utilities were auto-generated from specification documents, as
the database was used by many application services (mission planning, command control, telemetry, etc), but very small
development staff.
DIMS: Delta III launch readiness and support system Developed client side software: Delta III vehicle launch control (Guidance,
power, payload, structural, etc). Excel spreadsheets of system and mission parameters updated in real time by Oracle database
over HTTP Eliminated need for dozens of engineers to go to Cape Canaveral to support launches. (Excel/VBA/Oracle/HTTP)
RARO KC10 aerial refueling system operator station upgrade. Project software lead and BSP developer.
KC10 aerial refueling tanker digital overlay for stereo analog television cameras for tracking aerial refueling “clients”. Developed the
“Board Support Package” to map the hardware resources to the software. (Real time/C/VxWorks)
FIES Command and Control Fault Isolation Expert System IR&D Project Principal investigator: Developed a generic command and
control network diagnostic expert system (AI) where the user can enter the network and resource layouts (using a GUI) and custom
diagnostic software would be generated. (Lisp/Unix)
Other projects:
Infrastructure developer: TOPAZ MD11 Real Time Adaptive takeoff advisor, for BADD (Battlefield Analysis and Data Dissemination)
Airborne tactical C4I node, MIPS (Military Intelligence Processing system) and numerous other projecs.

3. Software Developer, Compuflex International 1994 - 1995
Enterprise resource planning (ERP). Back end developer and DBA. Functions included GL, journals, purchasing, sales, inventory,
authorizations, etc. Server side functionality implemented using Sybase Transact/SQL scripts on Unix server.
Member Technical Staff, TRW 1987 - 1989.
TEMPLAR: Mission planning expert system. (Symbolics 3600 Lisp/Flavors). Software developer. Developed interactive battlefield
mapping functions, form editors for user data, and data management software.
FAAD command and control system post test analysis subsystem. Lead developer: Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) is a complex
distributed command and control system for battlefield air defense. After test scenarios were run with combined live and simulated
military assets, the “Post Test Analysis System” digested and processed various logs to analyze the actual chain of events during a
system test. (Ada/Unix/Interbase)

OTHER
Founded and trained “Team Transmuters”, to compete at Startup Weekend events (where over one weekend, a business
