EXPERIENCE:

5/97 - Present - Software Engineer / Research Assistant:
Indiana University Computer Science Department
Bloomington, Indiana 47405

• Responsible for the architecture, design, coding, and debugging of a linear system (LSA) problem solving environment. The application allows the computational workload to be distributed over a network of computers using TCP or ATM to transfer data between different computers. A Java user interface allows the user to remotely start processes on other machines and signal these processes to send data between themselves. The project requires extensive programming in C++.

01/97 - 05/97 - Associate Instructor - Windows NT / NetWare networking:
Indiana University Computer Science Department
Bloomington, Indiana 47405

• Associate Instructor - Windows NT / NetWare networking: Assist instructor in Windows NT server and NetWare 3.11 laboratory course.

03/96 - 08/96 - Laboratory Technician:
Indiana University Cyclotron Facility
Bloomington, Indiana 47405

• Built interface between laboratory measurement equipment and desktop computer to provided automated data sampling.
• Developed demonstration program for new computer interface using Labview software.
• Wrote FORTRAN program to read and process data files for multidimensional interpolation.

02/92 - 03/95 - Deployable Systems Equipment Technician:
U.S. Air Force, Satellite Test Center ( Det 2, SMC )
Sunnyvale, California

• Led test group to identify software and hardware problems in ground station tracking computers prior to satellite launches.
• Developed and installed equipment upgrades for deployable S-band communications system, decreasing equipment setup time by 50% and improving overall performance.
• Installed and set up deployable space ground link station to demonstrate how different technologies could be used to cut communications delays in half.

01/88 - 02/92 - Satellite Communications Equipment Technician:
U.S. Air Force, 4th Air Support Operations Center Squadron
Frankfurt, Germany

• Developed and implemented an ancillary training database application that automated program tracking and reduced processing time by 20%.
• Assisted five work centers in developing on-the-job training programs to reduce communications systems down time through better maintenance.
• Implemented Automated Technical Order Management System to track technical manuals (changes, revisions, etc.) at unit level to improve quality of maintenance.
• Implemented new operating method for multiplexer timing that increased channel reliability by more than 30%.
• Discovered and corrected discrepancies in equipment alignment procedures, resulting in a 4 dB improvement in receiver performance.
