Objective:
Seeking opportunities where I can use my vast and diverse knowledge and experience to make a substantial contribution as a software developer, architect or project manager.
Career Highlights:
* Served as the Director of Engineering of a successful digital imaging start-up company.
* Designed and developed numerous software products and embedded software for electronic devices.
* Managed development projects from conceptualization through the complete life cycle.
* Recently designed and developed a WPF application that writes applications (M-V-VM View and View-Model from a Model). It even wrote its own user interface.
* Wrote an application that reads table metadata from an SQL Server database, and from that, generates stored procedures for manipulating the database, with optional change tracking and reversible record deletion. It also generates a C# entity class for each table, and C# interface code for each stored procedure. Unlike Microsoft's Entity Framework, it follows SQL best practices.
* Achieved the highest score ever on their C++ test before becoming a consultant at Xerox L.A.
* Achieved the highest score ever on their C test before becoming a consultant at Peerless Systems.
* Helped to design and document the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and IPP Fax protocol specifications of the IEEE.
* Designed and developed the front end application for QSound's 3-D sound placement system.
* Developed one of the first 3-D solids display engines, in assembly language, and licensed it for use in a kitchen design application, which I then wrote for the licensee.
* Designed and wrote the training application that shipped with a Commodore computer. It didn't support sprites, so I figured out a way to animate a hand moving over a keyboard by modifying the definition of a font on the fly. I also devised an improvement to the Huffman algorithm that got all the text to fit, overcoming the insufficient ROM and text compression algorithms of the day.
* Developed an application which could apply modifications to the Macintosh LaserWriter printer driver, adding a custom user interface and inserting PostScript into the output, and I licensed it as an OEM to most of the laser printer manufacturers of the time, customized for their printer's unique features, which they then shipped with their printers as their own.
Management Skills:
* Team management
* Product design
* Workflow design
* Scheduling
* Contract negotiation
* Documentation
* Oral presentation
Client Endorsements:
