Software Engineer

• Aug 2014 - Jan 2020

Development on a drone / UAV video server product. The server ingests and archives drone video, indexes metadata into a SQL database, and enables geospatial and computer vision workflows. Software development was primarily in C++, with light Javascript coding and SQL. Wrote automated Java JUnit tests. API methods exposed with SOAP. Worked in an Agile development environment.

Senior Software Engineer

• Mar 2002 - Jul 2014

• Important member of team which improved performance and automation on laser communication system for Phase 2 Navy program in June, 2013. Phase 3 funding imminent. • Key member of small team which developed and demonstrated a laser communication system for a Phase 1 Navy program in July, 2011. Demonstration highly successful, causing down-select for Phase 2 funding against competitors. • Created web dashboard / control interface using Node.js, Socket.io, Express, Jade, and Stylus. Realtime data displayed and plotted at 10 Hz using Flot. Commands from web client sent to Node.js server, which forwarded them to TCP server. • Developed GUI, middleware, network socket interfaces in C#, .NET, C++, on Win XP, Win 7. Multithreaded applications. • Embedded, multithreaded software on TI DSP. Instrument control, serial and ethernet interfaces using C++ and Code Composer. Socket messaging between DSP and host PC. • Configured firewall interface using Mikrotik RouterOS. Destination NAT. WireShark for test and debug. • Developed navigation algorithms enabling laser terminals to accurately point across long standoff distances on moving platforms. Algorithms employed geodetic and Euler's equations to integrate latest GPS, accelerometer, and IMU data into an updated navigation solution. • Spectral, radiometric, and nonuniformity calibration of infrared hyperspectral cameras. Measurements performed with Labsphere integrating sphere and spectral reference lamps. Developed calibration software in IDL and ENVI. • Hyperspectral data analysis: Analyzed hyperspectral data cubes using RX anomaly, matched filter, and other detection algorithms. • Developed a camera/GPS/accelerometer-based machine vision system which calculated heading and elevation angle by object-based recognition of mountain ranges. Developed in C++, OpenCV. • Web interface and data plotting with JavaScript, AJAX, and PHP on Apache web server. Show less
