              Principal Software Engineer

        *  Designed and built a definition language parser for the symbolic 
           modeling software product, DECModel (in C and SCAN).

        *  Built data base access routines for callable library of a software
           product for job sequencer/scheduler for VAX computers, DECScheduler
           (in C)

        *  Created a GUI for a neural net program (in C and OSF/Motif).

        *  Ported a large KEE/LISP expert system from SUN/UNIX to VAX/VMS.

        *  Built an object-oriented truth maintenance and constraint 
           propagation subsystem for a mechanical design system (in Knowledge
           Craft)

        *  Performed beta-testing of VAX Lisp implementation of KEE, which
           resulted in KEE release as Digital Corporate Marketing Partner
           product. 

        *  Implemented a graphic knowledge based editor for process planning
           (in Knowledge Craft).

        *  Work on advanced development projects.

1985 - 1987   Inference Corporation, Los Angeles, CA.
              Computer Scientist	

              Senior team member on the "Authorizer's Assistant" project, an
              interactive decision-support expert system. It incorporates the
              expertise of the human authorizers in processing the merchant's
              request for American Express card transactions. (ART on
              Symbolics Lisp Machine). The "Authorizer's Assistant" has been
              successfully deployed at AMEX data processing centers.  

              Developed the "Assistant Mathematician", an expert system that
              employs heuristic techniques to solve algebra and calculus
              problems. The system solves trigonometric and differential
              equations, solves and proves inequalities, performs
              differentiation and integration, simplifies trigonometric
              identities, finds extrema.

              Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA.
1980 - 1985   Senior Engineer, Image Processing Applications Section.

              Performed research, development, and software implementation in
              the fields of Digital Image Processing and Remote Sensing.
              Played a major role in the development of Image Based Geographic
              Information System, and its use in various applications,
              including terrain data base for the war gaming for the US Army
              Readiness Command, and Landsat Data Mosaic system for the US
              Department of Interior. Ported image processing software from
              IBM to VAX. 

1979 - 1980   Engineer, High Energy Astrophysics Group.

              Developed software for decoding, display and analysis of the
              scientific data from the High Energy Astronomy Observatory
              (HEAO-3) space probe. Conducted preliminary processing and
              statistical analysis of pulse height a spectra from the Galactic
              gamma-ray sources.

              debugging and code maintenance for the simulation of jet thrusts
              and servo-motor torques of the robot arm. In response to pilot's
              input, the program performed orbit calculations and generated a
              simulated computer graphics view from the cockpit window.
