Long Form Resume: www.Kettlewell.net
Objective
Seeking a technical position or supervisory role, particularly SCADA design, software configuration management (SCM), test engineering, team lead or project management.
Summary
Straight out of college, I was employed by defense contractor Raytheon, where I worked on a ground station satellite system, as a software engineer to design, implement, test and debug the system according to specification, and in accordance with Six Sigma and CMMI-3 processes.
While there I was a mentor, problem solver and part of a highly motivated and dedicated team.
Seven years of freelancing strengthened my tech skills, but more importantly taught me to view things as a project manager, and take things like resources, time and money into the equation, above and beyond just the design.
For more than a year now, I've been sharing some of my technology expertise on air at our local community radio station as a co-host on "The Tech Guys" show, where we talk about a wide variety of technology, and present it to the public in useful terms that they understand.

Raytheon [ 2001-2006 ] Software Engineer
My primary role was to implement, debug, test and deliver software associated with a satellite ground station. Part of the problem/solution process involved recommending a solution to teammates, and ultimately to a review board, as well as comprehensive testing and verification of the solution.
One of my major accomplishments was to head up a rewrite of our downstream telemetry equation processing library to address some failing specifications that were going to cost the contract millions of dollars.
I was continually sought out by team members for my debugging skills and ability to identify breaks in very complex code, often under very strict time lines. Our project ran on Solaris Unix machines, was written primarily in C++, and was versioned with ClearCase. We used Six Sigma for process, and were a CMMI-3 certified project.
