Ryan Wing

Initial work environment

• Joined a team of remote developers practicing mob-style development using Java 8 and 11.
• I introduced advanced unit and integration testing capabilities through TDD.
• Worked closely with the QA team on validating UI and backend services.

Recent work environment

• Took on the role of team lead of 6 developers for Java 17 services.
• As the Scrum Master, I oversaw and prioritized stories in Jira to ensure that project goals were met.
• I presented our team challenges and status directly to upper management on a weekly basis.
• I presented architecture talks to the other teams on a weekly basis, which covered recent development, bugs, or refactoring.
• I gained a deep knowledge of the software codebase and I articulated complex ideas in a clear and concise manner to my team.
• I worked closely with the web app team to coordinate REST API features.
• By doing so, I ensured that all the teams were working together to achieve the common goal of delivering a high-quality product.

• I led a team of 4-8 software engineers on internal data analysis web software and services for the deep space and scientific missions.
• Worked with the big data team to coordinate features and support for the various spacecraft teams.
• I formed the vision of test run analysis software, created work proposals, and evolved the software architecture.
• Extensive development of full-stack software: UI-specific features, REST API, service architecture, deployment in containerized environments, you name it.
• Advanced my skills through training opportunities: React, ECMAScript, Apache Hadoop, Java
• Coordinated FOSS product usage and planned upgrades for all customers
• I was responsible for build/test/deployment pipelines in multiple Linux environments

• I designed a mobile app on Android using C#/Java/Xamarin on the Mac
• The app tracks ad-hoc placement of recording devices in the seismic acquisition field and commands them to take actions
• Using a map, diagnostics, work orders, and communication views, the software collects a large amount of information that is synchronized with a server via BLE and WiFi
• The mobile software listens to thousands of recording devices broadcasting their internal state
• It collects information and notifies the user of any problems and where they might have to travel to find a problem unit
• I designed the app style, services, database, and UI elements to streamline interaction with the user
• At the start of 2015, I completed a Software Engineering Certificate program from Regis University in mobile development
• This education was independent and before I started work at GTI.

• At ION, I took requirements for a visualization engine to be written using OpenGL on Windows
• The engine had to work on platforms with very minimal hardware support (inexpensive laptops) up to platforms with advanced graphics features (discrete/multiple GPUs)
• The engine had to handle large amounts of earth-modeling data and reduce complexity where appropriate to ensure it was responsive to the user at all times
• The visualization engine has to work with large trace counts for seismic survey design
• By displaying a subsurface earth model, the software can show detailed diagnostic information along with batches of seismic trace data within the same volume
• The engine is designed to work across varying levels of hardware acceleration, detecting and enabling features on more advanced GPUs.

• I joined a nodal seismic data acquisition project mid-development as a software contractor
• I provided software and diagnostic tools to the engineering team on a small Linux platform using C++
• Additionally, I provided data acquisition and firmware updating support across many network-connected nodes
• I created software to collect raw seismic data from many devices simultaneously across a network of small Debian Linux instances to a single CentOS server
• I wrote the bootloader support, networking, unit testing, and diagnostic tools to support large volumes of data.

• Created a Windows-based system to assist navigation in the lungs of a patient
• I used C++/Boost/GPU/OpenGL and networking components to write an application that creates a navigation plan
• Using high-resolution CT imagery, I created a volumetric visualization engine to show the lung pathways, biopsy target, and any other information of note from the doctor
• The 3D engine allowed the user to show distances, see lung structure in areas of dicult navigation, and define a path from the trachea to the target
• The GPU was utilized to perform a non-rigid vector field mapping from the inspiration state to the expiration state
• The final navigation model allowed the doctor to know the path no matter the state of inspiration of the patient
• I created REST interfaces for the various types of patient data within the data volume so that the software can grow beyond a single application.

• Designed software to retrieve, analyze, and diagnose data from nodal seismic recording devices
• Using C++/.NET on Windows, I created a visualization engine to examine raw data in support of the engineering group
• This project was created out of a need to understand and make decisions on errors within telemetry data from the recording devices
• My work formed the foundation for a seismic data QC system
• I created analysis and testing methods for geophysical data delivery
• I wrote a SINC-interpolation tool, a total harmonic distortion analysis tool, and other analysis elements
• I combined these into a seismic data flow manager inside a GUI on Windows
• The system processed trace data compatible with the SEG-Y file format in a multi-thread/multi-node compute platform.

• Worked on Windows and many Unix platforms to support and release new GUI software in C++
• My early exposure to multiple dierent compilers, toolkits, and hardware environments allowed me to learn details of each platform in depth
• I worked in small (2-4 person) teams and specialized in cross-platform software development
• I created my first 3D visualization engine using C++/OpenGL
• In time, I became an expert in Windows desktop GUIs before my evolution into .NET later on
• I wrote geophysical survey planning software, implementing diagnostic tools in the form of map views, diagnostic overlays, and spread management
• I worked on a ray tracing platform, which generates large amounts of volumetric data
• Finally, I worked on earth-modeling software, visualizing the subsurface and propagation of energy though it using the ray tracing results.
