Professional Experience
Physician Micro Systems, Inc. Seattle, WA	2001-Present
Software Developer (contract)
Update and maintain port of legacy ms-dos code to windows environment; 
create new objects to map legacy data and display layout and control functions to windows display and control environment.  Fixed many bugs relating to mismatching assumptions about control and code flow between legacy code and windows environment.  Created system that matches description of a screen (text position and length) to windows controls and position.

Among other more interesting projects added dynamic creation of OCX client, using ATL and MFC, to allow the ported code to use 3rd party, and internally developed OCX objects to replace edit fields for input.  More recently I designed and created utilities to encrypt and archive customer data that could be transferred to PMSI; these data required encryption because it contained sensitive customer data, the encryption was to comply with new government requirements.   Worked with others in team to debug problems where VB code called C++ modules.

Euphonix, Inc., Woodinville, WA  	1998 – 2000
Senior Software Developer 
Designed and developed Title Management Objects and Title Interface for "R-1 Recorder".  Maintained the build of the release product, including maintaining the build of the installable image with Install Shield. 

Environment: Windows 95/98, Windows NT; 
Language: C++ (Visual C++). 
The Title Management Object is an object file system representation of a collection of information representing recorded audio. The Interface is 
a visual representation of the Title and lists of titles modeled after Windows Explorer, with a tree view and a list view. The views of the 
titles were implemented as COM controls that usesd a combination of COM interfaces and traditonal DLL interfaces to communicate. Also worked on converting the main application from a Dialog based to a Windows based 
application.

Implemented Title managment objects that provided a Tree-view and List-View interface for users to manage audio files based on the title of the recording project.

Updated the Main application to allow more complete capture and processing of keystrokes.  Implemented context sensitive menus for the user interface based on the Internet Explorer context menu model.  All objects were COM objects with extra proprietary interfaces.

Environment: Windows 2000, Windows 98

Developed new version of printer control program, 
that sent messages to printers at specified times to print messages inside bottle caps.

Environment: MS-DOS, some Windows NT, and Windows 95; 
Language: C++. 

Developed new version of printer control program, that sent messages to printers at specified times to print messages inside bottle caps.

Using original source code as a guide to the hardware interface of the I designed and updated the program to comply with new design that received order information from separate computer over a serial connection.  Developed communication protocol to enable transfer of printing parameters for initial program setup.  Developed Interrupt control objects to attach and react to hardware interrupts that synchronized the printer with the controlling computer.


Wrote routines that calculate the frequency and order to print messages, 
based on odds of "winning" or frequency of message to appear entered in order entry program.  Wrote routines that update User Interface computer to communicate status of current printing process.
