At Athene Software and CSG Systems I created Enterprise Java Beans to support the user interface for the iCRM Suite product. iCRM uses neural networks and data mining to predict and avoid churn in a large customer base. I wrote extensive Oracle SQL and Linux scripts to extract large data sets from client data files, and developed a C++ application to process the data and deliver it to the modeling engine. The product suite trains Bayesian networks to predict churn in a customer base. My responsibilities also included technical project leadership: initial specification of requirements, resource management, schedule tracking, testing, documentation, and packaging for customer installation.
At SmartTalk.com I wrote Java servlets that accessed an Oracle database. These servlets provided information for display in Java Server Pages. Our product was a high-volume messaging system that provided personalized phone calls and e-mail messages to customers across the country. I also worked with the Tuxedo queueing system, the Fonix Text-To-Speech engine, Enterprise Java Beans, and XML.
I worked for Jambo Productions, Inc. as a contract programmer and consultant. Most clients were in the Boulder area, but some off-site work was arranged via the Internet. My specialties were object-oriented design, graphical user interfaces, and technical project management. I used Grady Booch's object-oriented methodology for software development. Some notable projects involved modeling energy futures and the health effects of atmospheric pollution.
At Micro Analysis & Design I worked as Software Section Head, a technical management position where I directed the work of seven programmers. Management responsibilities were in addition to full-time programming tasks and technical leadership.
I am the original designer and author of Micro Saint, a computer modeling and simulation system. This software provides an easy-to-use tool for individuals with a need for computer simulation but no programming background. Micro Saint executes a multi-threaded task network while managing a variety of graphical displays, responding in real time to user commands as the model progresses. The commercial product was first released in February 1986, and it now runs on Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS, Macintosh, VAX VMS, and Unix operating systems. Micro Saint is now about 120,000 lines of code in different languages on the different platforms including C, C++, and Object Pascal. I created over 100 GUI screens throughout Micro Saint and several companion products. I was the primary programmer throughout the duration of this project. Other duties as project leader included analysis of requirements, product design, conducting code reviews, testing, documentation, marketing, and customer support.
At Storage Technology Corporation I worked in a software support group under Optical Storage Operations. I wrote tester control software which included real-time instrumentation control, data collection and storage, and an operator interface for the two production testers that produced the disks for the 7640 Optical Disk Drives. This project involved extensive work with hardware/software interfaces. I programmed in C on an LSI-11/23 running Unix.
