  First employee of Broadcast Pix, which produces hardware and software for the live broadcasting industry. Developed software for an integrated live video production system that combines a video switcher, multi-view monitoring, still and clip stores, camera control, character generator, audio mixing, deck control, and more into a Windows machine. Built the entire user interface, switching logic, and control surface communication from scratch using C# and the .NET Framework in the Visual Studio… Show more First employee of Broadcast Pix, which produces hardware and software for the live broadcasting industry. Developed software for an integrated live video production system that combines a video switcher, multi-view monitoring, still and clip stores, camera control, character generator, audio mixing, deck control, and more into a Windows machine. Built the entire user interface, switching logic, and control surface communication from scratch using C# and the .NET Framework in the Visual Studio .NET development environment. The user interface communicates with the video engine through managed C++. Switching control surfaces communicate with the application using XML via a socket server/client architecture, which I implemented. This allows remote switching from panels, web browsers, and mobile devices. Created several software versions of the video switcher control surfaces using Adobe Flash and ActionScript and ASP.NET. Internationalized the user interface through user editable XML files and created a tool to do so easily. Developed a versatile plug-in interface for devices to control or be controlled by the application. This makes the application infinitely expandable by developers within or outside the company and integrates seamlessly with the user interface and control surfaces. Developed a single page web application with a customizable UI for controlling the switcher remotely using ASP.NET Web Forms, C# CodeBehind, JavaScript, and jQuery with video monitoring through WebRTC. Also developed web-based text and audio chat application. Customers include major broadcasters, local studios, educational institutions, businesses, government organizations, and churches, among others. Most of my work has been done through telecommuting from a home office. I now work full time remotely from the Orlando, FL, area.

Developed the user interface for three different versions of the application written in C++/MFC, DHTML/Javascript, and Java. Deployed as stand-alone Windows application, DHTML web application, Java application, and Java applet. Used Visual C++, Visual J++, JBuilder, and Homesite for development. Used several third party grid controls and suites as well as developed custom GUI components in Java (tab controls, buttons, progress bars, dialogs, etc). Participated in the integrations with other Encoda Systems products. Team lead on DHTML/Javascript version.

  • Sep 1998 - Aug 1999

  Developed GUI components in C++/MFC for risk management software for the insurance and reinsurance industry. Software calculated probabilities for structural and financial damage inflicted by natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, etc.) and displayed the data in charts, graphs, maps, and spreadsheets. Designed various GUI portions of the software, one of which was an ActiveX control that was a wrapper around and enhancer of RogueWave’s Objective Grid, which allowed… Show more Developed GUI components in C++/MFC for risk management software for the insurance and reinsurance industry.
