Analysis of bandwidth requirements using Squid, Iptables and Wireshark
Kimera Systems - Android Home Screen App Widget 2010
A location aware home screen widget that periodically transmits the phone's location to a server, then changes appearance and behavior, based upon a response from the server. When the user touches, the application, it navigates to a custom browser window to display a server specified URL The Browser window furnishes a custom API for Javascript within the displayed HTML pages.
Android Marketplace "Carpenters Calc" 2010
An Android calculator for carpenters, cabinet makers, machinists. Carpenter’s calc has direct manipulation of Foot Inch and Fraction measurements for the easiest data entry of any calculator. It also converts to and from metric system “decimal pointed" measurements. Results are rounded and displayed to a configurable accuracy, usually the accuracy of the measurement device. Average user rating 4.7/5.0 in Android Marketplace.
Applied Test Equipment (ATS) 2002-2009
ATS acquired a line of automatic electronic test equipment that ran on obsolete Sun workstations. The device drivers were written in Sun C and applications in Sun Pascal. ATS needed to convert the system to Linux. The tester was connected with a VME bus connected via a third party driver. Final system is testing parts worldwide and is faster, less expensive and more reliable.
- Re-engineered the driver to use one from National Instruments, using a HP logic analyzer. to discover the minute details.
- Converted the code base to GNU C.
- Streamlined and simplified the build environment using GNU make and Perl scripts.
- Analyzed Pascal compilers, chose GNU pascal and converted the libraries and development environment.
- Converted a curses based semiconductor test operator console interface and fixed myriad long standing bugs.
- Enhanced the application interface, and fixed hundreds of bugs using tools like valgrind and pclint.
- Ported Motif based digital signal processor GUI to Linux "lesstif". Interfaced to the hardware with shared memory and SQLite. Updated documentation.
- Re-implemented digital pattern generator assembler using Python Yacc (PLY).
Avedo Human Resources Software Developer 2001
Created Python programs to parse XML page definitions, build HTTP Get queries and check the returned result with HTMLparser.
