By mid 1999 Lucent Technologies offered to buy Excel Switching for $1.7 billion in stock. The deal was finalized in February of 2000.

 

Subscriber Database Interface:

SubEdit, the Subscriber Editor, is an object oriented GUI between the database, which can reside on an NT Server or on a Unix Server running Oracle, and the user interface could run from the web (java), or locally on a Windows machine. From this GUI we can create, edit, and delete subscribers from the network phone system.

2/95-6/96: Raytheon, Software Engineer

Under this group, I specialized in Air Traffic Control software solutions for the government and private sector, developing primarily in C and C++ for UNIX workstations. Key projects included:

 

STARS:

Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) is a new Air Traffic Control (ATC) system implemented for the FAA and replaced 237 existing TRACON systems,

  • STARS Simulator - Designed and coded the STARS Simulator which simulates RADAR inputs, NAS inputs/outputs, which are then fed in to the live STARS. This was used to test the functionality of the new TRACON system. Written in C on Unix Workstations.
  • Data Recording and Playback - Coded the DRF module, providing the functionality to record all data sent and received to playback at a later time. This new functionality allowed for the testing/training and analyzing of situations in Air Traffic Control.
  • Keyboard I/O - Designed and coded the new keyboard interface internals. Each console had a single keyboard and the requirements that they have three for the final working version of the new STARS TRACON system.

 

ATNAVICS:

Air Traffic Navigation, Integration and Coordination Systems (ATNAVICS) is a new mobile Army Air Traffic Control (ATC) system that resides on a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, Heavy Variant (HMMWV-HV) or "Humm-Vee". This system supports Army terminal airfields on location and runs on UNIX workstations and is written in C.

  • ATNAVICS Simulator - Designed and coded the ATNAVICS Simulator which simulates 3-RADAR inputs, 1-NAS inputs/outputs, a FAAD system, and a SMAC system, which run with the live ATNAVICS system. This was used to test the functionality of the new system.

 

3/90-2/95: Pinebush Technologies, Software Engineer

Software developer for a small software start-up companies that specialized in raster and vector printing solutions for IC and GIS industries.  Solely responsible for substantial improvements to main product line (HyperPlot).

 

HyperPlot:

  • Developed, Programmed and Documented software for companies main product line (HyperPlot). All development was done under the Softbench Development Environment, with associated debugger and profiler. The standard sun compiler was used. I personally have optimized the product to be 20% faster than previous benchmarks against competitor, Mentor Graphic’s HotPlot.
  • Enhanced as well as fixed bugs to existing product line. Some of the projects that I completed included, solving graphics problems, like handling the polygons that degenerated due to clipping and adding more precision to operations that required it because of plotting errors. Also, functionality was added to the interface to handle different levels of plotting modes, draft, normal, and enhanced, which balanced speed, size of rasterfile, and quality of the plot.
  • Developed, Programmed and Documented Object Oriented Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for product line (HyperCds). The interface used polymorphism, inheritance and structured classes to handle data objects of varying types and uses. It was written using SKILL for the Opus environment and under x-windows this was written in C++ with help from the UIM/X GUI builder.
  • Performed Configuration Management (CM) for all product lines. I wrote the associated CM tools in C-Shell scripting language, which automated and controlled the source testing, merging and updating. This environment was known as (CMC).
  • Performed regression testing duties for all products, which included testbase management, and adding new tests to stress the functionality of the product line.

 

MISCELLANEOUS:

1989 - Received official commendation from the Department of the Army for saving the government money and labor by developing a Quality Assurance & Provisioning (QAP) System at the Watervliet Arsenal during summer internship.  An On-The-Spot Cash award of $1,000.00 also accompanied this commendation.
