EXPERIENCE BACKGROUND

1999 - Present

NAVSEA Dam Neck

I am part of the Acquisition Engineering group that does hardware development and evaluations. I am the only technician in our group of several Electrical Engineers. We are currently involved with the design and production of emulated peripherals for aging Combat Direction System computer systems such as RD358 magnetic tape units, UYH3 disk drives, USQ69 display terminals, TT624 line printers and the OJ-172. We have produce UYK-7 computer emulators for the Egyptian Navy also.

1994 - 1999

UNIDYNE Corporation - Norfolk, Va., Senior Systems Analyst

I supported the NSWC PHD ECO Combat Direction Systems Computers/Peripherals code on a variety of projects. I am currently involved with the LHA Peripheral Support Group project that will remove obsolete peripherals from a Combat Direction System on board LHA class ships and replace them with functionally equivalent VME based systems controlled by UNIX based TAC-4 workstations. I am directly responsible for the development of the LHA PSG technical manual as well as the technical manual for the CV-2036 KCMX Emulator. I have written I8051 micro-controller firmware in support of the LHA PSG RS-232 serial to Link-14 teletype converter. I shared responsibility for the implementation of the PSG LHA development lab and I also serve as Lab Manager responsible for day to day operations. In addition to the LHA PSG project I have provided technical assists on various ship-board computer systems. I have been required on numerous occasions to provide technical assistance to NUWC on their submarine simulation/stimulattion computer systems.

1988 - Present

JAGOW DATA SYSTEMS - Chesapeake, Va., Software Engineer

Contracted by Sabtech Industries to develop a new graphical user interface software package for their NTDS Interface Analyzer test equipment. The new Analyzer software was developed for use in a standard Microsoft Windows environment and provided many enhancements and refinements to the previous MS-DOS based version of software. I also developed a complete user's guide for the new Analyzer software.

Also responsible for the development of the "AMUYK" software package, a software & hardware replacement that would save the US Navy over $110,00.00 per mainframe installation. This unique software interfaced a 68030 microprocessor based PC to the AN/UYK-43 militarized mainframe computer. The "AMUYK" software executing in the PC presented an accurate scale graphic representation of the mainframe's display control panel. The graphic display could then be manipulated by mouse which causes the corresponding operation to occur within the host mainframe, thus a complete remote control program for the mainframe computer.
