Project Lead and Contributor C2Sense
Head of development for C2Sense gas sensing technology. Led small team which was composed of
electrical/electronic designer, firmware developer, mechanical designer and myself. Created first­gen
prototype for a stand­alone sensor which integrated an Arduino Uno microcomputer and ancillary
components into a weather­tight box with local Bluetooth capability for status and data download as
well as network capability for the upload of sensor data to the cloud.
Involved in all phases from requirements gathering to team building and subsequent management of
the development. Primary contributor as well in the cloud­based development for the data gathering
portion of the project.
Developer, Phoenix Trading Company
Developer on web application using RESTful services to authenticate and serve up an online return
ticket from DHL for use in product returns using Microsoft WebClient and Web API with C#, IIS Server.
The application used Knockout.js JavaScript framework to implement property bindings and jQuery to
implement asynchronous REST calls to the web application.
Deployed and tested deployment to Azure cloud services.
Developer, Onset Computer
Developed new and refactored existing WinForm applications written to control a remote data logger.
The effort separated code which could be reused across other products so that the final software
could support two products for an incremental increase in coding effort.
This resulted in increased code reuse, testability and reliability by implementing IoC techniques using
Castle­Windsor IoC framework.
Implemented communications in the logger using Google Protocol Buffers for increased throughput
and packing efficiency.
Developer, ​Magplane

in a remote solar­powered phone tower operation. The desktop application would then send regular
status to an Azure cloud based web application used to monitor the tower’s operation.
Deployed the central web application to Azure cloud for testing and operation.
Developer, ​Internal Company Project, MagikAteBall
Developed an Android application to showcase development on Android devices. The application
communicated with Yelp RESTful services to randomly pick a desired search item which could be input
by voice. The application used SQL­List local store, REST services communications, Android settings
and voice recognition.

Practical Engineering, Inc., Chief Architect, October 2001 to September 2005.
Software Architect/Developer
● Came on board at Practical Engineering to write software on an existing client­server software
project involved in instrumentation control for the Automatic Test Engineering industry. This
project was implemented as a monolithic server written in C++ and communicating with user
interface clients written in Java via a proprietary communications protocol. Realizing the
limitations imposed by the architecture, I proposed an alternative architecture based on the
utilization of industry­standard technologies (COM/DCOM) and libraries (STL and ATL). Upon
management approval of this architecture, proceeded to code new instrument server­side
components in COM/DCOM/ATL and new user interfaces in MFC and VB6 as ActiveX controls.
The server was architected and implemented as an aggregate server exposing internal
components’ interfaces.
o Architecture also includes the implementation of virtual instruments in which multiple
base­level software instruments are used to synthesize new functionality.
● Developed many user interface components in C#, VB.NET and VB6 as client front­ends to
instrumentation and user control. Utilized Windows Forms and User Controls to implement
MDI user interfaces.
o Developed middle­level components in C# to control application program sequencing.
o Integrated regression testing within program components using Nunit test suite.
o The new client­server architecture has been successfully deployed is in production use
at many customer sites in the US and Japan.
o Worked on architectural improvements focusing on speed, stability and functional
enhancements.
o Co­applicant (along with company CTO) of 2 patents for this architecture.
Team Leader/Software Manager
● Led team of five developers in this project. Duties included assigning projects, design and code
reviews, writing and reviewing specifications and managing schedules.
