Work History

Early Retirement, Home
01.2008 - 01.2025
  • I had taken early retirement. During that time to keep my skills sharp I wrote 31 applications in C/C++. At home working in a Linux environment with Visual Studio Code as the IDE producing automated testing applications. Below is a list of some of the automated testing applications:
  • Test harness for verification of hash functions. Application collisions, memory usage, execution times, and allows selecting all parameters for refining tests.
  • STL testing applications that verify file IO, streams, threads, multi-tasking, mutex, vectors, lists, arrays, tuples, etc.
  • Application framework for ISR(layer0) to Network(layer3) testing.
  • Application to instrument source code with counters for identification of bottlenecks and where optimization is warranted.

Senior Software Engineer

Honeywell
01.2007 - 01.2008
  • Wrote a testing application for avionics software and verified the release. This was in C++ on an IBM Windows PC. Tool was released to the testing community with an 8 engineer support team.

Senior Software Engineer

Syntellect
01.2006 - 01.2007
  • Developed Voice Response System for release in call centers. Proprietary embedded system RTOS implementation. This was C++/C on RTOS embedded system Motorola CPU. Included release verification with formal test plans.

Senior Software Engineer

OTI (IBM)
01.2005 - 01.2006
  • System specialist for the deployment of OTI products for multiple processors including x86 & other CPUs. This was working with outside vendors and 3rd-party players to port OTI products to proprietary processors. This was vendor intensive and customized effort for each project.

Senior Software Engineer

AG Comm Systems
01.2000 - 01.2005
  • Lead software engineer for OC3 telecommunications products. I produced all firmware and software in an embedded RTOS environment. All interrupts, threading, telecommunication standards, and system level testing. Responsible for all software (OSI layer3) and firmware (OSI layer0) in C++/C. System level testing encountered no errors to report.

Senior Software Engineer

Reliant
01.1999 - 01.2000
  • OC3 development and testing for Reliant telecom products. A testing lab position. System and integration testing are intensive in this embedded development. Formal testing plans and strategy. Aggressive schedules was the norm for this employer.

Senior Software Engineer

Syntellect
01.1994 - 01.1999
  • Built and released Voice Response System for call centers. Responsible for verify and release embedded C++/C proprietary system. Handed off to customer and not a single bug called in by customers. This effort included extensive unit and integration testing plans and automated testing packages.

Senior Software Engineer

HyperCom
01.1992 - 01.1994

Software Engineer

AG Comm Systems
01.1985 - 01.1990
  • ISDN new embedded product development being responsible for all firmware and call processing finite state machines. Worked with hardware team to produce all telecommunications firmware in C and with a tight schedule and with extreme pressure for national demonstration commitments. Converted C++/C proprietary call processing finite state machines to communicate with ISDN Q.931 protocols. Duties include all OSI model Layer0 and Layer3 requirements. Received a $50,000.00 award for my ISDN work.
