The presentation layer is composed of a Visual Basic GUI and Microsoft EXCEL via MS COM, enabling automatic generation of reports and graphs. The C++ application layer interfaced with the STK API. The effort encompassed initial algorithm through the final delivered object-oriented system. Delivered seven separate tools over twenty months. Successfully delivered a multi-threaded, client/server application. The application communicates over TCP sockets, buffers, spools, and distributes proprietary messages and effectively isolates two high-speed data networks. Multiple simultaneous I/O ports can be configured on demand. Contributed to detailed design and coding of the Command-and-Control software for the Iridium satellite phone system. Created a tool that automates, monitors, and controls a SCADA power system, utilizing a custom 4G language. I wrote the language-processing engine using Lex/Yacc hosted on an AIX platform. Designed and built a custom X-Motif GUI to create, edit and execute the scripts. Written as a custom enhancement for the Finland customer, and subsequently adopted in the GE Power System’s core product. Show less Chief engineer on a multi-tier, Satellite Mission Planning System.
