• Developed a WPF user control that acquires 1 channel of AJA 720P, 1080p, or 1080i video. This C++ control executes on multiple threads using specific CPU cores to acquire video in the background and interfaces to DirectX. Multiple controls can be inserted into a C# application to render multiple channels of live video at frame rate.
• Developed C# system that controls numerous instrumented pan/tilt/zoom cameras in real time with each camera pointing at the same object with the same field of view. System is completely scalable with essentially no upper limit of cameras that can be controlled.
• Developed a C++ DVR system that can record 4 simultaneous streams of video data.
• Developing a software framework to support Ultra Wide Band tracking technology that measure amplitude of “Big Air” events at the Summer and Winter X games providing height data to the ESPN Huck Tower
• Developed C# Rally Car tracking system for the 2009 Summer X games. Responsible for total system design based on the VBox GPS tracking system.
• Developed numerous .NET managed libraries to allow .NET programmers (C# and VB) at ESPN to gain full functionality and access to unmanaged C++ SDK’s provided by image processing companies.
• Developed a C# application that reads data from RSS feeds and supplies real time game statistics to users.
• Developing embedded software system to support ESPN instrumented camera heads. The system is PC104 hardware based and uses the Windows CE and the .NET compact framework. It supports data acquisition from 8 optical encoders.
• Developing highly optimized image processing algorithms to process real time high definition video streams. The algorithms are implemented via various state of the art programming optimization techniques including: SIMD (single instruction multiple data) tools, compiler intrinsics to support Intel MMX, SSE, SSE2, and SSE3 register usage, explicit fine grain thread control to utilize Intel’s new multi-core processors, and OpenMP

Primary responsibilities includes developing C++ R*TIME applications to communicate with various new and existing devices and subsystems at the following Nuclear Power Plants: Salem, Hope Creek, Kewaunee, Three Mile Island, Millstone, Oyster Creek, Dresden, and LaSalle.

Software architect for a provider of time clocks. Primary responsibilities includes developing software framework to provide VARS with a communication dll for all models of Accu-Time time clocks. The .NET framework eliminates the need for VAR applications to have any knowledge of the terminal model or mode (network, serial, and/or modem) and eliminates the need for the application to poll any terminal. The framework is scalable allowing thousands of clocks to be connected

Head of software development for the UTRC Factory Automation Laboratory. Software engineer specializing in designing, coding, debugging, testing, and documenting of real- time data acquisition systems. Responsible for the networking of all Vax and DEC PDP-11 minicomputers. Designed numerous DEC operating system drivers and utilities for general UTRC use. Designed, implemented, and documented a graphics library for TEKTRONIX displays for use on DEC minicomputers. Developed software to communicate and control robots from external computers. Developed image processing based inspection systems.

Projects included: 1. designing, developing, and deploying a C++ - Java bridge. LFG is in the process of converting / rewriting their producer applications to be Web enabled. This necessitated the ability to have existing legacy C++ Com code invoke Java methods and having new Java applications call existing legacy C++ Com code. After a thorough industry review, I based the design on XML-RPC. 2. Designing the new authorization module for Lincoln's intranet site utilizing the Java Cryptography API. 3. Designing a framework to process real time XML content provided by Screaming Media LLC. The solution involves using XSLT to transform the XML news, weather, and stock content into HTML

Responsible for Host / Client communication between HPUX hosts and 20 clients using HP C++. Communication is via sockets, message queues, and shared memory.

Team leader responsible for developing the functional requirements, software specification, framework design and the C++ implementation of the ABB FERP (Fast and Easy Robotic Programming) system. This system allows users of ABB robots to: provide real-time closed loop control of the robots from a supervisory computer processing real time sensor data

Team leader and member of a large scale software development project. The project was HartRe’s next generation worldwide reinsurance platform. It is an object oriented system based on “design patterns”. As the conversion team leader, I was responsible for developing an application which used the newly designed HartRe design pattern based application framework, to transfer all existing legacy data into the new system’s database. Software was written in Borland C++ with Rogue Wave class libraries.

Information systems manager for Woodbridge Sterling capital, a NYC financial corporation. Responsible for a 75 user network. Responsible for the functional and technical design of its corporate database used to locate and track correspondence to/from Lottery winners. The database used was Microsoft Visual FoxPro.

Lead software designer responsible for designing a distributed financial cash flow application. This application allows cash flow simulations that required 24 hours of processing on a dedicated Sun workstation to automatically distribute their work load over 30 Sun workstations reducing their processing time to under 2 hours. The application was developed using C++ and Unix remote procedure calls software.

Architect for the Nuplex 80+ Plant Monitoring System (Unix client-server based). Responsibilities included overall design of system architecture and object oriented software development of a distributed real time plant monitoring system utilizing a distributed database. This system was developed in C++, using: 1. HP-UX OS on 10 distributed workstations, 2. HP RTAP real time data base (with Berkeley socket developed extensions for use in a distributed client-server environment), 3. VI DataViews GUI to provide dynamic data visualization.

Developed specialized manufacturing automation inspection systems for customers such as the US Army, Spaulding, and Amp. Systems were PC and VME based using specialized image processing hardware (for area and line scan cameras) and libraries of software developed by AAI to perform all aspects of the inspection system’s tasks.
