• Software Engineer - Air Traffic Monitoring

  • Jan 1997 - Oct 1997

  I was recruited back by Denbridge Digital on contract to take on an existing air-traffic monitoring system which had been partly developed, but was undocumented, untested and incomplete. I reverse engineered the software, identifying its structure, and correcting where necessary. The software was hosted on an embedded VME board, developed in a Unix environment. I created a test suite using a Windows PC and OpenGL to create test scenarios which allowed him to test the software and bring it to completion and acceptance. Show less

• Software Engineer - VTS

  • Jun 1996 - Sep 1996

  I worked under contract on software embedded on a VME card. I used a state-transition matrix to design a heart-beat failover system for a maritime vessel tracking system (VTS). Because of the well structured design, I was able to easily adapt the system to allow standby hardware to be used for training. I worked under contract on software embedded on a VME card.
