Objective To use my software, hardware and laboratory skills in a research & development environment.
Overview An experienced software engineer accustomed to working in R&D with considerable hardware and laboratory experience. I have created software systems in C, C++, JAVA, and UNIX shell languages and am well-versed in UNIX, PC and Apple system administration/security.  I possess good interpersonal abilities and have excellent writing and other communication skills.  A portfolio of my work, with screen shots and code examples, can be found here.
Experience Software Engineer, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 10/00 - present
  • Overview: Created applications in C, C++, and LabVIEW to support medical, oceanographic and government research. Constructed instrumentation hardware and integrated hardware/software systems.
  • Specific Accomplishments: Created an eight-channel bathythermometric data acquisition instrument for airborne use. Developed communications systems for telemedicine, including a Remote Treatment Planning System and a system for satellite transmission of mammograms. Developed an infrared imaging system for tumor evaluation. Developed a hyperspectral optical imaging system for medical use. Wrote software for acoustic data collection and analysis. Developed software in embedded Linux/Windows environments. Participated in flight tests for Navy-supported programs. In 2002 I supported the NEON SPEAR mission in Nairobi, Kenya, in which I constructed a 50-node network supporting various windows-based conferencing and network services.
  • Critical skills:  Project organization and management, software development in a Windows/PC environment using LabVIEW and C/C++, electronics/mechanical and laboratory abilities, organizational and communication skills, P-3 aircraft flight qualification, people skills, cross-disciplinary flexibility and grasp of disparate areas in technology/science.
