• Worked on major contract to develop research embedded system.
  • Contract was run within a tailored Mil-Std-2167A guideline.
  • Was an integral part of a three-man team developing the user interface for five sub-systems.
  • Modeling based on the OMT method of Object Oriented Analysis/Design, using Rational Rose as the modeling tool.
  • Apex was being used for the Software Engineering Environment.
  • Design was a X11/Motif implementation, using BuilderAccessory to do the initial layout.
  • Completed initial static prototyping of the displays (in X & C).
  • Implemented designs in X (UIL), Ada'83 and '95.
• Worked on previous contract, development and implementation of Object Based Parallel Design Test System.
  • Contract was run within a tailored Mil-Std-2167A guideline.
  • Used OMT method of OOA/OOD for Design Models, Software Through Pictures for the Modeling tool.
  • Developed parallel algorithms for various Massively Parallel Architectures in Fortran (90, HPF).
  • Designed exception handler for one system in C with Fortran wrappers.
  • System Administrator of group's computers.

Back to Black... Although I did some interesting (and sometimes funny) work here, all of it was highly classified. I will say that I completely immersed myself into this work, following them through Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Maintenance.

Although it was fun (challenging) to do some of the initial R&D and prototyping for this work, I was amazed at how much I also enjoyed the maintenance phase, especially when it involved optimization of existing code. There was a certain pleasure in squeezing the last few microseconds out of a piece of code...
