Please Note

I have recently relocated from Utah to New Hampshire. Because of this and because I am currently happy with my situation, I am not looking for a new position. I am leaving this information online so that interested parties can confirm my identity and contact me if necessary.

Skills and Interests

I have 15 years experience in software development, 10 of them primarily in an MS-DOS/Windows environment and 5 primarily under Unix. I have been using C professionally since 1987, and C++ since 1991. The majority of my software development experience is in data acquisition, control systems, and device drivers, having written drivers for everything from a antenna trackers to high-speed communications equipment to T1 interface chips. I also have experience with signal processing, databases and GUI development. Besides C and C++, I have used other languages at various times, including 80x86 assembler, TI C3x/C4x/C5x assembler, 68HC11 and 680x0 assembler, Java, and Python. I have developed software for numerous buss architectures, including ISA buss, VME buss, PC-Card, and custom embedded hardware. I have one year of experience with the VxWorks real-time OS in a VME environment and have developed for Sun SPARC hardware in an embedded environment.

I have six years of experience managing a full-service Internet Service Provider. I designed and implemented the IP routing, security policies, remote access services, and security firewalls, all using various forms of Unix and Cisco IOS. I have built custom terminal servers using the Linux OS and have also installed and configured remote access servers from USR and Lucent. At one time or another I have administered Linux, SCO, Solaris, and AIX systems with hundreds of user accounts.

I have installed and configured numerous Cisco routers, both for private networks and for Internet connectivity. I have practical experience with routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, as well as in constructing complex static routing tables and packet-filtering firewalls using Cisco's IOS software. I have configured routers to perform Frame Relay Switching and to route voice calls over Frame Relay using Cisco equipment.

I have developed and written device drivers for a number of specialized communications cards for the ISA and PC-Card busses. Communications protocols used include MIL-STD-1553, RS-485, and ARINC 429. I have also written device drivers for other people's ISA and VME systems as well as for specialized embedded controllers.

Experience with HTML, Pascal, Perl, AWK, and Unix shell scripting. Some experience (about 1 year) with SQL in an Internet environment. Have developed commercial web sites that include CGI-driven content and sites that utilize PHP.

Salt Lake City, UT 84116
Position: Principal Engineer - Next Generation Ground Terminal

As Principal Software Developer for the Next Generation Ground Terminal, I developed the operator interface software for a high-speed air to ground digital data link. This software was network-aware and allowed for control of both the ground equipment and the airborne equipment from a single console located on either end of the data link. The software was written in C++ under Solaris (Unix) using the Motif GUI toolkit. It interfaced with, controlled, and provided the user interface for a VME chassis running the VxWorks real-time OS.

EFI Electronics
