EXPERIENCE

Capital Equipment Corporation, Billerica, MA. Jan 1998 to Sept 2000: Designed and wrote the V1.0 and V1.1 software (firmware) for the WEBDAQ/100. It is the first general data acquisition internet appliance. The design uses pSOS (an RTOS), NET+ARM (NetSilicon, Inc.), Motorola DSP56002, flash memory, AD (multiplexed), DA, and more. My work includes but is not limited to the following: multitasking multiuser design, embedded HTTP server and website, DMA ISRs, ARM exception handling, command line interface for TCP/IP and serial, AD and DA system control, memory tests, FLASH driver, RTC driver, BOOTP, SMTP, and FTP clients, reporting and scheduling, tools, NT portability to speed development, RCS revision control, ARM debugging with JTAG embedded ICE unit, hardware level debugging (logic analyzer and scope). I was the only software engineer working full-time on this project. You must see the product in action to appreciate the breadth of work.
Sunrise Labs Inc., Manchester, NH. May 1996 to Sept 1997: Developed embedded system GUI kiosk for x86 PC architecture. Designed and coded (in C) multitasked system architecture for pSOS (an RTOS) including message queue protocol; developed touch-screen based GUI system using third party graphics libraries (Metawindows, Menuet); developed applications for the GUI; designed and implemented a subsystem similar to UNIX signals using events; wrote technical specifications. skills: PC architecture, remote debugging (SoftProbe), revision control (PVCS), porting procedures, Metaware and CadUL compilers, linking embedded systems code (spLink, Xlink), documentation, pSOS certification.
Concord Communications, Marlboro, MA. Oct 1997 to Dec 1997 : Wrote code for the Network Health monitoring system. Using TCL with SNMP queries the code identifies devices supported by the system and identifies the statistics those devices are capable of reporting. I wrote TCL code to integrate many new devices. Wrote tools in C to aid with MIB analysis. I used ClearCase revision control, including automatic merge with multiple branches. Worked on a heterogeneous network using Xwindows across Sun, HP, and NT stations. Fixed software installation shell scripts that serviced both Sun and HP platforms.
AtValue Software, Holderness NH. Nov 2003 to Nov 2004 : Developed Visual Basic software for real estate appraisal software package with database layer, Excel and Word interfaces. Extensive use of VBA with ADO libraries to interface applications with database.
Band Technology, Meredith, NH. Dec 2001 to present : Design and implement an embedded HTTP server for network appliance type products. This includes support tools and a website development methodology. The server and tools will be available first for x86 architecture (particularly embedded linux) but will port to any multithreaded OS (RTOS) with BSD sockets. A file system is optional in the target. Its light weight and speed will make this server stand out.
Band Technology- Sept 1997 to Present:

Complex Systems Research Center, Durham, NH. Sept. 1995 to May 1996 :

Software QA Testing- Cabletron Systems, Durham, NH. Oct. 1992 to May 1993: Tested network management software and hardware. I gained familiarity with Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI equipment, topology, and management, PC networking, packet analysis, SNMP and MIBs.
Electronics Technician- UNH Psychology Dept., Durham, NH. June 1991 to Dec. 1992: Built and maintained animal behavior experiment apparatus in an independent setting. Skills: Prototyping, Z80 based BCC-52 microcomputer I/O interfacing, circuit design and layout.
Image Processing R&D- UNH Synthetic Vision Pattern Analysis Lab. Oct. 90 to May 91: I developed my own algorithm to track a moving object using pre-existing polar-log mapping routines. The goal was to learn about object tracking for robot vision. Learned skills in C programming, group discussion, operation of image processing equipment.

EDUCATION

BSEE University of New Hampshire, May 1993, Durham, NH, USA

Important Coursework:

Digital Communications- taken on exchange at San Diego State University.
Wavelet Transform for Signal Processing (Independent Study)- I researched wavelet theory and wrote software in C to perform forward and reverse transforms using a Haar basis. Applications range from signal compression and pattern recognition to physics models. This was a pretty hot topic at the time.
A Digital Microphone (Independent Study)- I designed and implemented a discrete output transducer using a one-dimensional CCD array, moving mirror, and a laser. As the laser traverses the array a swath of cells are illuminated per sample. subsequent frames allow a discrete sample to be generated from the frames. A sufficient sample rate allows sampling of audio signals when mechanically coupled to the mirror.
