SENIOR Systems/Software Engineer
*
NETWORK FIRES & FIRES AND EFFECTS PLANNER FOR THE FUTURE COMBAT
SYSTEMS
Designed and developed the Attack Guidance and Network Fires
Federated Object Models, which are part of the Fires and Effects High
Level Architecture of the Future Combat System (FCS). This Complex
Distributed Real-Time System allows war fighters to conduct
effects-based planning with lethal and non-lethal fire capabilities,
and standard explosive / electronic warfare munitions thru the War
fighter Machine Interface Service (WMIS) GUI. Major focus was on the
systems design, using UML to develop Use Case and Class Diagrams,
Sequence and Timing Diagrams, and Context and Data Flow Diagrams
using the Enterprise Architect tool suite.

*
LOW LEVEL FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ACTOR INTERFACE SERVICES OF
FCS
Designed and developed low level framework software for the Actor
Interface Service (AIS), which is a real time, parallel distributed
system that handles all communications between the War Fighter
Machine Interface System (WMIS) and the Planning and Preparation
Services (PPS) of the Future Combat System. Responsible for all
message definitions/allocations, data mining/caching/storage, message
data publications, and various transport protocols. This software
handled new connections and data subscriptions from war fighters
across the globe, and distributed simultaneous updates to all
subscribers of published data, ensuring that the all war fighter GUIs
would receive changes made by anyone who was connected, in real time.
The proxy and message data contracts were written in XML, and
referenced by abstract interface, proxy, and client/server classes,
which were implemented to provide Subscribe Publish Asynchronous
(SPA) Patterns and RRA Editor Session transport RTIs for 12 different
networks, including a secure SoSCOE Layer, which was accessed thru a
virtual VMWare image. This software was developed under DO178B Levels
A ClearCase for software configuration; JUnit for testing; XML Spy for

 COMMAND POST OF THE FUTURE - US ARMY CPOF BATTLE AUTHORING
SIMULATIONS
Assisted with the DO178B development of a Battle Authoring Tool
(BAT), to emulate and support realistic military operations, for the
Command Post of the Future (CPOF) Project. Developed a map-based,
distributed system using GPS, to provide real-time creation,
modification, and deletion of units, reports, and events over time,
to identify enemy reconnaissance and massing of artillery. The users
place "actors" (units, events, reports) on a "stage" (map) and the
BAT System directs them over time (game clock and event list),
providing future play-back of the entire scenario. BAT empowers war
fighters to visualize the battle space and synchronize the elements
of combat power, while simultaneously collaborating and sharing data
in near-real time, which enables users to see and interact with each
others workspaces, tools, data, and maps as if they were interacting
with their own workspace.

ENVIRONMENT : The code was written in Java, C++, XML, and OpenGL
(3D), which interfaced with a GPS based Multi-Sensor Tactical Data
Visualization (MTV) Mapping System. Development was done on Linux,
but the final product ran on Windows, Linux, and Solaris. All builds
and configuration was done on ClearCase.

configuration) , and Cadre Teamwork (Design).

Developed a CSU Test Automation System tool, which was written in, C
Shell, Bash, Nawk and Perl, to fully automate the test/integration
phase for several projects. This tool remotely scheduled and
performed nightly software builds, created Adamulti debugger scripts
from the source code, and executed them against the binary. It ran
off cron tables, and produced detailed error reports which were
emailed to the responsible engineer. It is currently being used to
test projects on new versions of AdaMulti, and to port Ada95 source
and test files from Solaris to the Rad6000, running VxWorks.

Wrote an Ada to C++ converter on Linux, using bash scripts, which

took existing Ada95 code, and created bare boned C++ classes.

JUNE 1995 - FEB 1997 MKS INSTRUMENTS METHUEN, MASS

Embedded Firmware Engineer
*
ODVA DEVICE NET SOFTWARE
Sr. Firmware Engineer responsible for the design, code, and test of
Capacitance Manometer, (Baratron), Throttle Valve, Mass Flow
Controller, and Hot/Cold Cathode Tube, firmware. Each device ran on
DeviceNet with a CAN Controller, and was developed and tested
according to ODVA specifications and conformance test procedures.
This firmware was written in C++ under Kiel, and targeted to several
different processors.

*
PROSPOSED AND IMPLEMENTED A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE ENTIRE MKS
PRODUCT LINE.
Each of the above devices, were all written in C, and contained
massive amounts of redundant code. Header files over 10 pages long
existed in each device, and all devices contained similar if not
identical data types and attributes.
Came up with a proposal, which I presented at an all hands meeting,
to create a motherboard (written in C++) which contained all types,
attributes and methods which were shared by two or more devices. The
code in each of the devices would then be completely rewritten in
C++, to contain only the functionality which is unique to the device.
Common functionality would require instances of motherboard classes,
providing 1:* associations. With this implementation 90% of the
functioning software is defined only once, and used by everyone. This
drastically reduces time/space limitations, and eliminates most of the
conformance testing. The proposal was accepted and implemented, and it
put MKS Instruments at the top of their industry.

Member of the ODVA SEMI SIG Board, which controlled any and all
changes and/or implementations to DeviceNet Profiles for all
DeviceNet compatible devices. These profiles grew to become the
world-wide standard, for all ODVA Device Net Certifications.
