Professional Experience
Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, Cincinnati, OH 1995-present
Staff Software Engineer including writing many thousands of lines of embedded C/C++ code, project leadership, interfacing with customers, mentoring, interviewing & recruiting, proposals and estimating, and software engineering.
Led and architected the software on several large programs with 25K to 150K LOC, from beginning to end. Performed the software estimates, wrote the software portions of the proposals, created the teams, planned the projects, led the customer presentations, executed the jobs, wrote MIL-STD documentation, ran the integration and testing, finish on time and under budget on most programs, and often achieve 100% technical rating from the customer.
Executed many other jobs including embedded and desktop applications including: using VxWorks on a PowerPC MPC860T, interfacing to FPGA’s, DSP’s, and microcontrollers, developed many microcontroller applications, error detection, encryption, data communications, wired and wireless protocols, and reverse engineering. Also developed several PC Visual Studio applications including device drivers, services, and GUI utilities.
