Senior Senior Research Fellow, ALI group

• Research optimizations for the Jikes Java virtual machine.
• Help develop and maintain PPC and OSX ports of Jikes RVM.
• Be resource, mentor, and enforcer of software engineering standards for 6-8 graduate and undergraduate students

Senior Software Engineer

• In charge of three person engineering team creating visualization module for new XML-based factory automation product written in Java. Researching ways to create a reusable component model for vector graphics (SVG) rendering tools.
• Solely responsible for design and implementation of Java product and was mostly responsible for Visual Basic product that was built on the DataViews C++ core. Involved working at both low levels (JNI and canvas peers) and high level user-visible classes.
• Team leader for a major component in a new generation of DataViews Windows product. Personally designed most of its run-time system and implemented the major portion of it. Created new usage models that were more powerful and user-friendly, implemented thousands of lines of new C++ code, and modified large portions of the existing C code. Design maintained 100% compatible with existing customer applications.
• Had primary responsibility for all parts of existing C core (100,000+ lines of code) for four years. Found most efficient way to update or replace code in order to meet new market demands. Core included platform-independent graphics and user-input management, data collection, scripting engines, and presentation charts.
• Worked on advanced technology C++ graphical editor construction toolkit for UNIX platforms. Required in-depth understanding of C++ specification to create objects that utilized many advanced features. Product also involved detailed mathematical knowledge to manage the constraint engine that maintained geometric relationships.
• Responsible for charting module of DataViews program. This involved maintaining and adding to a library of 70+ different styles of charts that had to display live data with near real time performance.

Software Engineer

• Solely responsible for creating graphics and charts to best display process data to engineers, using both original APL code and additional graphics packages.
• Prepared statistical analysis of data for the engineers.

• Two years in Ph.D. program in Lori Clarke's Software Development Laboratory.
• Studied concurrency problems in multi-tasking systems.

• MS in Systems Science

• BS in Mathematics

• Designing system architecture for Java, C++ and C products.
• Researching and learning new technologies.
• Enhancing existing code beyond its intended purposes.
• Mentoring and supervising junior programmers.
• Writing documentation, from low-level function references to high-level user's guides.
