Software Development Experience

• Developed software in Java and Oracle’s PL/SQL to support statistical analysis of sales data and forecasting of future sales using linear regression techniques.
   
• Designed and developed software for several web-based e-commerce and internet/intranet applications using the Java programming language, XML, HTML, JavaScript, Java Server Pages (JSP), Java Servlets, JavaMail and JDBC with an Oracle database. Also developed numerous stored procedures and database triggers in Oracle’s PL/SQL language.
   
• Provided object-oriented analysis consulting and project mentoring for a large international project. Developed Java prototype of a rule-based pricing engine for marketing incentives.
   
• Provided object-oriented mentoring on a sales automation project for a large US company.
   
• Served as a software consultant for object-oriented design and Ada on a project for the US Air Force involving ground data analysis of satellite sensor software.
   
• Served as architect and lead developer for a corporate software re-engineering environment based on modern language translation technology and a repository approach to environment integration. Project software was developed in REFINE and C++ in a distributed environment using Sun workstations running Unix.
   
• Served as principal designer for a corporate information system based on Novell networks and a client/server architecture using Oracle RDBMS and Paradox clients.
   
• Designed and developed the statistical approach and all related Pascal software for the analysis of results in NASA's drug testing program.
   
• Served as project leader for the Ada Design Tools Project, with overall responsibility for prototyping and developing tools to assist in the design of Ada software. Developed in Pascal, C, and Ada using an object-oriented approach, these tools supported both graphical and textual representations of software architecture. Designed and implemented a reusable software component in Ada for automatically laying out a directed graph in the x, y-plane.
   
• Designed and developed a highly efficient inference engine for processing rule-based expert systems using backward chaining. Originally developed in Pascal, this inference engine was used in several projects including the implementation of a powerful expert system that performs fault diagnosis on a programmable automatic cable tester.
   
• Developed several FORTRAN programs to support forestry planning and research, with primary emphasis on statistical analysis software, graphic display of data, and laboratory information systems.
   
• Served as an expert witness on mathematical modeling and developed software in FORTRAN for analysis of client’s data.
   
• Developed a computer program in BASIC to track the status of software installed onboard Navy ships.
   
• Developed software in BASIC to support the Charleston AFB Youth Center activities of registration, record keeping, and scheduling.

Related Employment Experience

• Provided leadership and technical support for numerous software business development initiatives including proposal development, “red team” review, preparation of capability summaries, and technical marketing presentations to potential customers and business partners.
   
• Developed an Ada implementation plan for the USAF Tactical Air Command.
   
• Performed and documented a comparative analysis of programming languages and made corresponding recommendations for developing a NATO AAW system.
   
• Provided direction in the development and formulation of software engineering policies, procedures, and methodology as part of a corporate software engineering program.
