	SAS & SES/Workbench.

	Nov 88 - Oct 90:  Principal Quality Engineer (NIO) - Participated
	in an internship program to cross train from systems availability
	modeling to network performance modeling.  During this internship
	I took many courses including:  Advanced Operations Research, IDEF,
	Queuing Theory, DCL, VMS & Ultrix.  Additionally, I have learned 
	the following software packages:  SHARPE, SLAM II, & SAS.

	Dec 87 - Nov 88:  Principal Reliability Engineer (NIO) - 
	Developed manufacturing qualification strategies for fault 
	tolerant computer.  Wrote plans and organized teams to perform 
	PVT and ORT.  Did extensive availability modeling and sensi-
	tivity analysis to assist design engineering.  Also developed 
	and taught an introductory course in "Availability Concepts & 
	Modeling."
	
	Nov 85 - Dec 87:  Principal Reliability Engineer (VWO) - 
	Developed Vaxcluster availability models and, using Markov 
	modeling, performed analyses for design and marketing groups.  
	Co-authored a paper on Vaxcluster availability modeling.
	
	Mar 84 - Nov 85:  Quality Program Manager (WJO) - Managed the 
	product safety and government regulations program for the 
	Computer Systems Manufacturing group, consisting of six manu-
	facturing plants plus several warehouse facilities.  Wrote and

	quality and reliability of personal computer memories from 
	design to retirement.  Included resolving component-level 
	problems with vendors, delivering a 99.8% defect-free product, 
	and meeting MTBF goals at the customer site.  Responsible for 
	meeting product safety requirements and government regulations, 
	supporting the Marlboro, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore 
	plants.  Represented the Far East Manufacturing group at the

				ACCOMPLISHMENTS

	Wrote numerous programs in SAS to analyze Network General sniffer
	data for response time, server think time and applied loads.  These
	outputs were extremely useful for Marketing & Sales to position
	network products and for Engineering development of the products.

	Created two and three CPU Markov Availability Models which 
	captured the VAX Cluster behavior and did early work to extend
	these models to any number of CPU's.
		
	ASQC - Certified Quality Engineer #10147
	
	As the Group Product Safety Engineer, I was instrumental in 
	attaining CSA Plant Category Certification for the Hong Kong 
	and Taiwan plants.

	Performed as both a Training Manager and Senior Instructor.
	I have taught Calculus, Algebra, Boolean Algebra, Trigonometry,
	Digital Logic, Markov Availability Modeling, Computer Architec-
	ture & Machine-level Computer Programming.
	
	Based on education, experience, and managerial ability, I was 
	commissioned directly from Sergeant First Class to Captain of
	Engineers in the U.S. Army Reserve on 03 Oct 1977.
