Stan Caldwell engineer/programmer jptv33a@prodigy.com POB 30771 Tucson, AZ 85751 USA 520-760-4455 fax:520-760-0417 OBJECTIVE Design and development of algorithms and software for engineering and computer applications. Specifically applications involving statistical methods and artificial inteligence, but generally anything requiring analytic techniques. SUMMARY M.S. degree in systems engineering from the University of Arizona. B.S. degree in mathematics from Iowa State University with minors in statistics and computer science. During 25 year career at IBM programmed, engineered, and evaluated computer performance. TECHNICAL SKILLS Operations Research (Decision Theory, Statistical Analysis, Mathematical Programming, Dynamic Programming) Software design, development, and usage (application and system) Simulation: Discrete and analytic. Programming languages: C, APL2, APL, PL/I, PL/S, RESQ, SAS. DASD subsystem performance. EXPERIENCE/ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1993 to 1996 Attending U of AZ Graduate School: Systems Engr 1993 to 1996 employed by TAD contracted to IBM 1992 to 1993 Contract to IBM Tucson/San Jose Development Labs special projects on DASD subsystem performance 1985 to 1992 IBM Tucson, AZ Development Laboratory - Defined and created major enhancements for: DCAT (DASD Cache Analysis Tool) performance predictive tool for IBM DASD subsystems used worldwide for marketing and support of IBM DASD activities. - Major DCAT enhancements developed: - analytic modeling techniques - new product support: 3990, RAMAC - productivity/useability improvements - runtime improvements 1980 to 1992 IBM Tucson, AZ Development Laboratory - Wrote detailed discrete simulation of an IBM DASD cached control unit. - Produced studies for design tradeoff and performance of various cached DASD control units. The studies relied on discrete and analytic simulation models. Stan Caldwell 520-760-4455 1975 to 1980 IBM Rochester, MN Development Laboratory - Designed and programmed detailed discrete simulation of medium commercial computer system (S/38). - Predicted performance during development of S/38 using the discrete simulation. 1975 IBM Systems Research Institute NY,NY - Studied algorithm development, queueing theory, statistics, and management of programming systems during 9 week course. 1973 to 1975 IBM Rochester, MN Development Laboratory OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Function - Simulated and studied character recognition techniques. - Microcoded tools used by maintenance engineers for adjusting document feed path. - Demonstrated image processing possibilities. - Worked on development of proposed OCR devices and proposed image processing devices. 1968 to 1980 IBM Rochester,MN Development Laboratory - Designed and programmed device support as well as wrote tests for device support for large computer systems (DOS,OS,MVS). Devices supported were MICR/OCR (Magnetic/Optical Character Recognition) devices (1419, 1287/1288, 3886) and card reader/punches.
