EXPERIENCE:

June 90 - Present. Software Engineer. Tecolote Research Inc., Santa Barbara,CA

 4/91-4/92 - The Army Force Cost System (TAFCS).  The FORCE cost model
  estimated the cost of maintaining the various units of the Army.  Based on
  the user inputs and the costs stored in the database, the different
  methodologies like Acquisition of Resources, Activation, Annual Operations
  , Movement, etc., were evaluated and outputs were generated for the analyst
  to view and manipulate.  It involved information retrieval from dBASE files
  using Codebase IV, a C Library of routines.  Significant work was done
  using Vermont Views, a C library of routines, and Codebase IV to retrieve
  information from the relational database, modify the data using scrollable
  regions, and use the modified data in the computation.  The reports generated
  were displayed on editors.  The project was implemented using Microsoft C
  and MS-DOS.

 Implemented a data model on the VAX.  This model involved significant user
  interface programming.  Several data forms that were interlinked were used
  to collect the user input.  Also created several menu forms for user
  selection.  Data for the program was read from ASCII text files.

 Automated Cost Estimating Integrated Tools (ACEIT).  Enhanced a File
  Manager that helped the user to manage files without knowledge of VMS
  commands.  The utilities allowed the analyst to import, copy and delete
  files.  The sessions were sorted by date and displayed using the GUI.

 Automated Cost Data Base (ACDB).  Member of a programming team that
  generated several cost reports using data stored in ORACLE tables.  The
  data was retrieved using embedded SQL statements in Pro*C code. The data
  retrieved was inserted into C linked-lists and processed.

September 88 - June 90.  Research Assistant.  University of Lowell

 Developed a CAI system using MOTIF and X Windows.

 Implemented a simple task manager for process scheduling using Unix
  system calls.

 Simulated TCP/IP Functional Specifications using three-way handshaking.

 Developed a File Transfer Protocal (FTP) program using TCP/IP protocol.

 Designed an interpreter for Lisp in C.  Several LISP functions were
  evaluated.

 Ported a Monte Carlo FORTRAN program from the MIcroVax to the Stellar
  GS1000.  It involved data conversions and changing system commands.

 Implemented sorting algorithms in LISP and ADA.
