June 1999/Oct 2001	Logicon Sterling Federal Systems Group  Ft Worth TX
Principal Engineer

Provide integration and adaptation of the NASA Automated Terminal RADAR Approach Control
(TRACON) Passive Final Approach Spacing Tool (pFAST) in conjunction with the FAA Air Traffic
Control System at the DFW international airport. The application pFAST was developed in a high
ordered language adapted to provide logical instruction and flexibility for system adaptation into
any approach scenario or runway departure and arrival configuration required to provide a more
efficient use of runway utilization at the airport facilities. The Software System was developed in
C++ in a Solaris UNIX environment using Clear Case for configuration version control, Defect and
Documentation Tracking System (DDTS). As the DFW Adaptation Team lead engineer I was
responsible for coordinating the adaptation efforts of a four-member team working primarily at the
DFW TRACON. Initial tasks included ascertaining the controller preferences and air traffic
management criteria with respect to both the pFAST software and pFAST adaptation requirements.
Collaboration with the AT Cadre resulted in definition of the DFW Site Adaptation Requirements
document that included the specific runway utilization criteria.  This requirements document was
reviewed, approved by the Cadre team of senior controllers and the FAA program office. This
document became the baseline for future modifications and adaptation maintenance of the DFW
pFAST system. The document also included the facility acceptance criteria of the adaptation for
operational use by the facility. The acceptance process included facility-shadowing evaluation by
the Cadre for both the software system and adaptation logic. As Software Engineer assigned as
part of the pFAST Software Team supporting the deployment activities, which  consisted
of incrementally evolving functionality together with problem fixes using "spins" based on Logicon
Evolutionary Spiral Development model. The spins are bounded, demonstrable, and approximately
4 to 6 months in length, and start with the NASA baseline version of the software. Onto this baseline
additional functionality was integrated required for supporting the deployment to designated pFAST
sites. Further, this activities include defining requirements for the site hardware configuration
descriptions, conducting analyses, preparing deliverables, and providing on-site software support
until the software can be entirely maintained by Airport Operations Systems Facility personnel.

May 1998/June 1999	Fujitsu Network Communications  Richardson TX
Senior Software Engineer

Provided software design, documentation, development and implementation for a CDMA IS95A/B
User Interface software system. The application was developed on Microsoft Visual Development
Studio C++, with emulation of the User Interface functionality on a multi-threaded window environment.
The software was developed using this environment to allow facility of debugging the interface
functionality while the hardware became available. This software system was then ported into a
configuration management environment in ClearCase on Sun UNIX for version release and archiving.
The Embedded Software System was then integrated and tested on the ARM target processor on a
development environment with ICE debugging, signal and IP emulation facilities.

May 1997/May 1998	DSC Communication Corporation  Plano TX
Software Engineer IV

Provided analysis, software development, maintenance and documentation support for communications
digital switch architectures control call processing systems. The applications entailed development in
assembly and C languages, using a variety of UNIX, VAX tools version control and documentation
utilities under a Sun networked environment. Applications debugging were conducted on the actual
switch with the appropriate architectures required by the implementation or as specified by the issuing
customers; to achieve the foremost results. These applications were debugged using simulated call
traffic, database and information digital signal processing environments and protocols. Also developed
an inline system application debugging utility for multi processor architectures to be used within the
digital switch environment by the user applications developers.

May 1996/May 1997	Pollak Transportation Electronics  Cd. Juarez Chihuahua Mexico
Senior Software Engineer

Principal activity included: Specifications generation from customer requirement, Software design
development, system documentation for traceability, and evaluation of microchip controllers
implemented in automotive instrumentation, information display and control modules. The implementation
of these Embedded Software Systems (ESS) were integrated into a real time system developed in C,
C++ and/or assembly languages for SISC, RISC, PIC, OTP type micro-controllers (e.g. Motorola,
Microchip, Intel, etc. with 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit architectures). These also included programmable devices
(i.e.: Xilinx FPGA) to solid state dynamic, volatile and Flash storage devices. These system
implementations required the use of real time operation system, the design of prototypes, and the use
of software development tools such as: hardware emulators and software in-circuit and background
debugging systems. Support test and evaluation tools for full development of these integration required
hardware in the loop testing with electronic equipment such as: Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, function
generator, and PC simulator development tools. Simulations tools included J1708/J1587/CAN and multi-
serial buss and engine protocol emulators.
