Objective
=========
I am seeking challenging assignments in complex software-intensive systems with an organization of high repute. I am particularly interested in the opportunity to learn, grow, and positively contribute through my diligence, expertise, and strong work ethic.
I am a United States citizen, willing to relocate within the continental United States, and willing to travel up to 75% of the time.
I am currently not interested in contract position.
Relevant Experience
===================
Organization: Honeywell International Inc. Defense and Space Electronic Systems
Role: Systems Software Engineer
Date: March 2008 - Present
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
My core responsibility for Honeywell is to develop and maintain software for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned airborne systems such as the Micro Air Vehicle (gMAV) T-HAWK. These include:
• Generating requirements
• Producing design artifacts (UML, Rational Rose)
• Implementing and integrating systems and sub-systems
• Supporting qualification and system-level regression tests
• Supporting production and field services
I am a key developer and have consistently met software milestones while supporting the team as a whole. In February of 2010 I was honored with the Honeywell Outstanding Engineer Award. A breakdown of tasks is as follows:
1. Systems and Software Development
• Implemented system and software requirements in both high-level object oriented source (C, C++) and lower level firmware (C, Assembler) for integration of devices such as cameras, transducers, radios, and lasers into avionic systems
• Supported software development efforts and increased system robustness for multiple deliverable avionic builds in all aspects of the avionics software system (communication management, payload management, health management, and mission controller).
• Primary developer for telemetry station GUI application (VC++, MFC)
• Developed software applications in support of production, commercial, and engineering efforts such as sensor calibration tools, radio configuration tools, and engine monitors (VC++, Java, C#, MATLAB)
• Generated production description drawings, programming procedure drawings, version description documents, and change requests for deliverable and production software systems
• Assisted production efforts by providing inputs to production procedures and through debug and troubleshoot support
• Updated system, subsystem, and component requirement specification documents
2. Sustainment, Logistics, and Customer Support
• Developed and maintained asset, training, and crew database systems to support the team and to meet government requirements (Access, VB, SQL)
• Provided troubleshoot support for field service representatives deployed in the theater of war
• Provided logistic support for deployed assets through a DOD asset management system
• Generated multiple revisions of the operator’s manual to keep up with changes in the systems
• Assisted in fleet sustainment by managing material requisitions
3. Flight Operations
• Supported system level regression, acceptance, and qualification flight testing for engineering and production efforts by filling test director, telemetry operator, and ground operator roles
• Generated flight cards to test software updates

Organization: Northrop Grumman Corporation
Role: IV&V Analyst (Subcontractor)
Date: April 2007 - March 2008
Location: Fairmont, West Virginia
My responsibility for Northrop Grumman was to provide independent verification and validation (IV&V) services for NASA space systems, JPL Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover and Goddard GLORY satellite. IV&V tasks included:
• Automated and manual code inspection (Flexelink, Clockworks, Coverity)
• UML modeling (sequence, use case, activity, and class diagrams)
• Requirements and design V&V

Organization: West Virginia High Technology Consortium (WVHTC) Foundation
Role: Member of the Research Staff
Date: November 2004 - March 2008
Location: Fairmont, West Virginia
My main responsibility for the Foundation was to support the development of airborne research systems for NASA Dryden. These systems were delivered on-time and performed with zero defects. My roles included test lead, and V&V lead, as well as to provide implementation and process support. Specifics are as follows:
• Led test effort of a safety-critical airborne research system and ground control GUI applications for the NASA Dryden Ikhana Predator B unmanned aircraft. Test responsibilities included development of an automated test framework, system debugging, and customer interface for formal qualification (Bash, Python, C, Expect, TCL)
• Led V&V effort of safety critical research system for the Ikhana aircraft. V&V responsibilities included full life cycle V&V which encompassed system and subsystem hazards analysis (IEEE 1012)
• Supported implementation of safety critical real-time executive software for the Ikhana aircraft. Implementation tasking included coding and code inspections for all airborne and ground software (C, C++, QT, C#)
• Generated technical documents for airborne research systems which included software development plans, interface control documentation, V&V plans and reports, and test plans and reports
• Integrated and tested three higher order neural networks onto a real-time executive platform for enhancements to control dynamics of the NASA Dryden F-15 ACTIVE aircraft (C, MATLAB, Simulink)
• Supported V&V effort for Generation II of the Intelligent Flight Control System for the F-15 ACTIVE aircraft
• Supported methodology development for V&V of neural networks in safety critical systems for NASA IV&V

Organization: West Virginia University
Role: Graduate Research Assistant
Date: February 2002 - November 2004
Location: Fairmont, West Virginia
My primary responsibilities as a graduate researcher were to develop and use machine learning technology to identify source code defects. This research was funded by NASA IV&V. Specifics include:
• Designed and implemented machine learning algorithms that used novel heuristics to gauge and control learning (Java, SWING)
• Designed and implemented code inspection tool that used machine learners to predict source code defects based on software metrics (Java)
• Data mined software metrics from NASA software for code fault prediction (AWK, Java)
