Analysts:  Used a J prototype to predict tariff revenue impacts; then
 developed it using COBOL/DB2, VB, ACCESS, and EXCEL.  Provided estimates
 used to specify computer hardware requirements and constrain
 specifications.  Isolated and fixed errors.  Developed solutions to
 bottlenecks.  Improved data sampling Used J to mine customer data.

System development:  At East Fishkill; Created a production-tracking
 relational database in APL; that generated daily reports for 10 years.
 Wrote requirements for, proposed the test setup and, designed the Users
 Manual for a Tactical Simulator; which was used to integrate the FFG7
 Weapon Alternate Processor, and became the basis for a Navy trainer.
 Designed and developed software for a weapon calibration program and
 created a test environment(in APL) that delivered a flawless calibration
 program.

Team development:  Taught programming.  Helped select and lead the
 development team for the Tactical Simulator, assigning task and
 mentoring junior programmers.  Trained the team that programmed the
 weapon calibration algorithm.  As member of a tiger team sent to salvage
 a development effort; my tools helped increase productivity by a factor
 of ten.

System support:  Provided data conversion between several systems.
 Provided data reduction for several systems.  Corrected message flow.
 Created device drivers to test peripherals.  Created a multi-thread,
 multi-interface controller program connecting computers and emulating
 and driving peripherals.  Modified an interrupt handler to reduce system
 level overhead.  (Interrupt latency) Created support software that
 improved team performance.  Supported databases (SAS, DB2, APL, and
 others)

System Integration:  Created test software for aircraft subsystems.
 Provided lab and field support for several systems.

Optimization:  At Niagara Mohawk Reduced APL database program search
 overhead and simplified report generation.  Improved fixed point and
 floating-point algorithms to meet timing and accuracy requirements
 Reduced core requirements, Changed the interpreted method used to
 simulate computers.
