Work Experience

	Spring 1999 - Fall 2000: Kodak ESMS Development Team Participated in analysis of application requirements and wrote design specifications for development tasks for Electronic Spectroscopy Measurement System (ESMS). ESMS is an application to collect spectra from a spectrophotometer, analyze spectra with on complicated algorithms, store spectra and results of computations in a database, and report the results to the user. Designed and developed most of ESMS algorithmic business logic components using Visual Basic. Designed and developed much of ESMS data access components using Visual Basic, ADO, transactional MTS, and ORACLE. Designed and developed reporting and graphing portions of ESMS presentation-tier (GUI) using Visual Basic. Designed and developed ActiveX controls in Visual Basic for use in the GUI. Assisted with coding of master-data logic and presentation. Developed a world wide deployment strategy including installation programs and monitoring tools. Designed and implemented stress tests for components and database access. Optimized network access code for transcontinental operation. Optimized SQL queries and ORACLE indexes to minimize transaction times. Assisted in writing of user documentation in HTML Help.
	Winter 1998 - Spring1999: RIT Summer Workshop Project Designed and implemented an image analysis application called CIS Imaging Laboratory. The application could read in BMP and TIFF images and do internal calculations on the images, outputting converted images, histogram data, and other such calculated data. This application was developed using Visual Basic and other Visual Studio components. Created a full installation package for the program, including a windows Help file. Designed and implemented custom electronic circuits based on simple op-amp designs, and successfully interfaced these circuits with an IBM computer through an RS-232 connection, and custom software developed in Visual Basic.
	Fall 1998 - Winter 1998: RIT Research Project Designed and implemented an application to read captured frames from a Kodak MegaPlus camera, and perform the necessary calculations to convert the RGB image information to XYZ color space. This application was developed using the IDL programming language. Designed and implemented an application to send PCL commands to a HP Color Laserjet 5M printer. The program was developed using the Visual C++ 4.0 development environment.
	Fall 1997 - Summer 1998: RIT Research Project Designed and implemented a user-friendly Windows 95 application to interface with an analog-digital converter via an RS-232 connection to an Intel based machine. Coding of the application was done in Visual BASIC. Output from the program was loaded into an Excel spreadsheet for analysis.
	Fall 1994 - Fall 1997: Computer Services Supervisory Assistant Answered users’ questions about software and hardware in the lab. Hardware included Macintosh, IBM-PCs, VAX terminals, laser printers, scanners, MO drives, Zip drives, CD-ROMs, inkjet printers, and plotters. Software included Mac OS, Windows NT, VMS, Unix, X-Windows, MS Office, Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark Express, Netscape, telnet, FTP, and others. Maintained hardware and software in computer labs. Installed operating system, networking software and applications on Macintosh computers in the lab. Debugged problems with hardware and recommended solutions. Resolved networking conflicts. Debugged problems with software conflicts and engineered solutions. Specified lab procedures. Trained, supervised, and evaluated other lab assistants. Maintained stock of lab supplies.
	Spring 1997 - Summer 1997: NASA Lewis Research Center Designed and implemented a user-friendly Windows 95 application to interface with a Kodak EKTA-Pro high-speed video camera via a GPIB connection to an Intel machine. The GUI and much of the logic was coded in Visual BASIC with Win32 API enhancements, however some of the computation intensive tasks were coded in C++ and dynamically loaded as DLLs. Created context-sensitive help files for program documentation. Created a CD-ROM installation package. Analyzed images of icing roughness by enhancing images with Photoshop, making measurements with Sigma Scan, and graphing data with Sigma Plot and Excel, all on a Windows 95 workstation. Assisted in setting up and debugging a web server to allow users to access an image archive through an SQL database. The machine was a dual Pentium Pro machine with an Ultra-Wide SCSI RAID array, running Windows NT Server 4.0 and SQL Server. Maintained computer hardware by installing RAM, hard drives, read/write CD drives, tape drives, SCSI cards, ethernet cards, GPIB cards, and video cards. Installed Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation, and various software packages on new workstations, and connected them to the existing NASA network.
	Fall 1996 - Fall 1997: World Wide Web Consultant Designed, implemented, and maintained the Unofficial David Copperfield Homepage, a large web site including over 175 interconnected HTML pages, hundreds of images, and dozens of sound and movie files. The HTML pages were created using a variety of tools, including text editors, Netscape Composer, MS Front Page, Adobe Page Mill, and BBEdit.  Created custom images using Photoshop 4.0, and the POV-Ray ray tracing software package.  Recorded and edited sound files using the Creative Labs Wave Studio software package. Captured and edited movies using a VSP24 video capture card and the Adobe Premiere software package. Designed and implemented CGI scripts and SSI to log accesses to certain pages, serve different versions of a page depending on browser capabilities, search site documents, order merchandise, give feedback, and run a custom message board. These scripts were written using the PERL scripting language, C, and Unix shell scripts. The merchandise order form was set up on a secure server.
	Summer 1994 and Summer 1995: The Microspring Co. Inc. Designed, and implemented a flexible marketing software package to produce job quotes. The program asked questions through a user friendly GUI and then produced a job quote based on the answers. It would also calculate price breaks for orders of larger quantities. The program was written in the Lotus 1-2-3 scripting language on an Intel based machine running Windows 3.x.
	Summer 1995: Bio Meriux Vitek Assisted in implementation of a LAN by installing networking software and hardware. The network was a Novell network with Windows 95 workstations. Some applications installed include MS Office and Lotus Notes. Coded statistics tracking software for the QC department. The software was designed to read a text file output from custom test equipment, and perform a statistical analysis on the data. The program was written as a Visual BASIC script in MS Excel, and ran on a Windows 95 workstation.
