Performed diagnostics, repairs, and services on Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Acted as primary interface for customers, providing documentation and technical assistance as appropriate. Traveled to customer facilities to provide direct on-site support as well as firmware implementation and debugging.

Developed actual in-product firmware for major customers.

Reason for leaving: Laid off due to merger

Developed multiple smartcard applications, targeted for 8051 platforms.

Used Visual C++ to implement test commands as DLLs, in order to integrate into existing testing platform.

Developed test procedures and associated test scripts prior to completing final test phase.

Reason for leaving: Start-up company went out of business due to lack of capital

Developed firmware for RF identification products (contactless cards and readers). All development was done using C on Microchip PIC processors.

Used Visual Basic to develop an application which manages a smart-card terminal. The application is capable of downloading new firmware to the terminal, as well as conducting multiple diagnostic features.

Reason for leaving: Opportunity for career advancement at Npoint

Solely developed the Intel 8051 assembly-language firmware for TV set-top converters in a “video on demand” hotel environment.

Used Visual C++ to develop a test station for conducting final manufacturer’s tests of the above converter. This software managed 4 pieces of test hardware using serial and GPIB protocols. The test station provided test signal inputs to the converter as well as measuring outputs for determining successful converter operation. Full-featured GUI allowed operator total control over test process, selecting/de-selecting tests to be run as desired.

Reason for leaving: Start-up company went out of business due to lack of capital

Co-developed latest generation security-alarm system, based on M68HC11.

Added new features to the Remote Account Manager, an MS-DOS based application which communicates with installed alarm panels. Added database and user-interface subsystems, and implemented the low-level communication routines required to interface with the panels.

Reason for leaving: Business was acquired by competitor and relocated out of state

Developed a process control system to route railroad cars, replacing a human operator. This system utilized OPTO Electronics' digital hardware for input/output to interface with a 1940's vintage relay-based railroad routing computer; the system also used interrupt-driven serial communications to update mainframe database server.

Developed multitasking PC-host platform for the GridPad, a pen-based, GUI-interface notebook. Managed: modem communications, mainframe data path, RF communications with the GridPad, data archival, and forms printing, all operating concurrently.

Developed an image processing system. Utilizing Kofax hardware for scanning and display of documents, the system transmitted data via Novell netbios to a jukebox for storage.
