SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Designed IC framework for RAD reducing project 
length 67% for Motorola. Client required evaluation 
kits to debug new Integrated Circuitry (IC) and to 
aid in design-in for potential customers. Created 
software framework for evaluation kit development. 
Achieved better than 60% reuse of code and reduced 
project length from six months to two months.

Received patent through creation of high-level 
API deployed on International Space Station 
(ISS). High tech client required software driver 
for PCMICA card they were developing.  
Researched existing commercially available 
universal drivers. Designed Application 
Programming Interface (API) allowing customer 
interface capabilities, selected for use of the 
ISS.
 
Customized software and synchronized multi-site 
databases for Motorola.  Client required 
tracking software that could be used by team 
members working in United States and EMEA. 
Researched and analyzed commercially available 
software applications. Managed configuration of 
software, licensing and global deployment of 
product.

Developed patented process automatically 
detecting hot spots in circuits for Motorola. 
Client's current detection procedure took six 
months and produced hundreds of megabytes of 
data requiring extensive intervention by 
engineers. Created add-on to existing simulator 
within two weeks reducing detection cycle time 
to 15 Minutes.

Designed and implemented industry's first 
coastal mapping software within six months, used 
by Federal Government.  Agency required ability 
to map coastlines without disembarkation ashore 
and erecting radio towers to triangulate.  
Managed program tying GPS receiver to sonar 
system, enabling vessels to map shorelines in 
real time.
