Apr 84 -     Principal Software Engineer, Data Center Systems & Servers /
 Nov 92      VAX Systems & Servers

             Behavioral Modeling Assistant.  BMA is a system for graphically
             representing a design at the RTL level and automatically generating
             both a behavioral and gate level representation of the design.

             o  Specified, designed, and implemented user customizable library
                elements
             o  Implemented VAX DEC/Code Managment System control of the project
             o  Created the VAX DEC/MMS VMS Lisp build procedure for BMA
             o  Identified and fixed performance problems
             o  Influenced the group to adopt better coding practices
             o  Consulted on redesign of the DECWindows interface to make it
                more user friendly

             SID Logic Synthesis Tool.  SID was a revolutionary logic synthesis
             tool to automatically create gate level circuits from higher level
             design specifications.

             o  ported CAD application to both VAX Lisp/Ultrix and Lucid
                Lisp/Ultrix
             o  interfaced synthesis tool to schematic capture system
             o  provided technical support to SID users
             o  field tested VAX Lisp/VMS and Lucid Lisp
             o  significantly contributed to the tool's performance and
                robustness
             o  LISP expert within the SID organization
             o  created interface to read the CAD database and libraries
             o  wrote interface from SID logic synthesis tool to plotter files
             o  Patents:  Two patents have been awarded to SID designers

 Nov 78
             o  extensive modifications to TOPS20 operating system device driver
                for magnetic tape drives
             o  developed TOPS10/20 operating system device drivers to
                communicate to front end PDP11's.  Wrote the test/performance
                measuring software which was used to debug the device drivers
                and front end code, as well as provide performance statistics
             o  Developed microcode which turned a DUP-11 into a DMA device
             o  wrote the TOPS10 operating system device driver to communicate
                via a shared memory device to a front end PDP11.
             o  acting System Manager for both a DECsystem-10 1090 and a
