Software Developer and Systems Engineer working on primarily NASA and Defense Department government contracts. Experience with a variety of software languages and packages such as C++, C, FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada and HTML running under mainframes, UNIX workstations, IBM PCs and Apples.

Software and systems engineer on the Earth Observing Information System/Data Information System (EOSDIS) Core System implementing a distributed network of data products comprising mostly remote sensing data for a ten year NASA contract. Responsible for drafting requirements, developing object models following an object-oriented analysis and design methodology. Also responsible evaluating commercial off-the-shelf products to be used in the development of EOSDIS and to conduct interviews of applicants for open positions.

Responsible for maintaining attitude and orbit determination software that was reused by many other Flight Dynamics software projects at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The library of units were ported from IBM mainframes to other platforms, specifically HP and SUN UNIX workstations. The reuse of software decreased development costs and shortened delivery schedules.

Also developed and refined existing software, incorporating system wide improvements that provided ground terminal based communication with a repeater satellite (TDRS). The Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Space Shuttles are just two systems directly supported by TDRS.

Responsible for the software design effort on the Naval Environmental Data Network (NEDN) Oceanographic Data Distribution Expansion System (NODDES). Provided the top-level design, structured requirements analysis, structured design and formal design review presentations.

Developed a Software Requirements Specification (SRS) for one subsystem for NODDES. As part of a software team, developed a turnkey system to collect weather data, produce and distribute reports and present remote weather briefings.

Serving as technical lead on a Data Analysis and Reduction program for the Surface and Ground Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM & GLCM) TOMAHAWK project coordinating design, coding and documentation changes. Prepared and led product demonstration to Air Force Personnel. Streamlined foreground process in the Wrap-around Simulation Program (WASP) that simulated the digital and analog signals of the SLCM Weapons Control System. Coding done in Fortran and Assembler.

Responsible for scheduling task assignments, project manpower estimates and submitting milestone charts. Developed new coding standards for GLCM software accepted by U.S. Air Force. Followed long term schedules that resulted in meeting initial government delivery deadlines.
