Experience
Jan. ’95 to present System Engineer for Office of Information Technologies at
University of Massachusetts.
Jan. ‘94 to May ‘95 Senior
Engineer for Sunderland Engineering, Inc. Assisted in writing proposals for
work with Electrical Power Research Institute. Wrote and designed company
brochure.
Sep. ‘93 to May ’95 Computer
and Engineering Consultant. Performed thermal analysis of wear on rotating
surfaces. Set up Windows for Workgroups networks to work with Pathworks and
TCP/IP including maintenance of Internet Web browsers and other Internet ease
of use tools.
Sep. `92 to Sep. `93 Application
Engineer for TempPro Inc.
Involved with development of a complete PumpOff control system
for artificial lift wells from a prototype. System included 6 well sensors, a
sophisticated RTU, and a customized version of the graphical RealFlex system for
well status display. Project included an extensive and ongoing publication
search, site visits with various vendors and endusers in Texas, and meeting
with the system engineers in Venezuela.
Managed company's dBase based computer system. Maintained the data
base; wrote new software as needed and assisted users. User assistance involved
working directly with drafting to help them with program generated bills of
materials and assisting accounting with month and year end inventory and work
in process totals.
Designed part number generation program. Using Borland Turbo
Vision a program was developed to arrive at a company part number for any of
the offered products using a set of simple dialogue boxes presented to users on
machines ranging from 8088 black and white computers to 80486 color machines
with mice.
In charge of implementation of software to manage entire company.
Initiated preliminary meetings and organized all successive meetings with
representatives from ProfitKey International. After software approved for
purchase, analyzed structure and order flow of company and how the company
could adapt to the new package; responsible for related initial employee
training. In charge of extensive upgrading including client and server hardware
and software and of network hardware.
Worked on development of postprocessors and parts families
programs for numerical control lathes. Used CAM program ShopCam from Shop
Systems.
June `91 to Aug. `92 Computer Programmer for project PILGRIM. Developed a commercial implementation of
VMS/Kerberos software development kit. Gained experience in Berkeley socket
interface programming, Microsoft Windows programming, and in the use of remote
procedure calls and threads using the OSF/DCE.
Feb. `91 to Aug. `92 System Manager for Mechanical Engineering
Design Lab. In charge
of installing computers in lab, installing and upgrading the VMS and DOS
software for the system, installing application software, maintaining users and
disk space, and writing small programs to ease complexity of using the
networking software.
June `89 to
Feb. `91 Research assistant.
Worked on the experimental discovery of thermal contact resistance
on electronic components. Project involved analysis of temperature profiles
across heat sink/diode base plate interface using different materials in the
interface. Also gained experience in surface profile testing.
Explored thermal imaging techniques and thermal fault detection
for computer circuit boards, and development of extensive software for thermal
imaging and fault detection. Had extensive contact with infrared camera
developer AGEMA and with sponsors and codevelopers at Digital Equipment
Corporations. Developed experimental apparatus and techniques. Investigated
several techniques for fault detection using transient infrared energy for
rapid production based fault detection.
In charge of system maintenance of a network consisting of PC's
and a VAX using DEC Pathworks.
