Objective Design and
development of software systems. Qualifications Over 30 years
experience in the complete
product life-cycle development of software products including building
and managing the teams necessary to provide Concept to Customer
development, Continuation Engineering, and Customer Support. Expertise Includes:
Accomplishments Developed system to
provide near real-time loading of a DataMart using messaging from ERP
and shop floor manufacturing systems.
Using Java and EJB’s, the system provided for asynchronous
data extraction from multiple sources, message generation, routing and
guaranteed delivery. The
system allowed customers web-based access to production status of
orders with a 15 minute lag. Designed and
developed PC based system to write and monitor resource based patient
treatment profiles. Primary
user targeted at Case Managers in a hospital.
System developed using Visual Basic and Access. Designed and
developed system to write and monitor time based patient plans of
care. System initially
used by nurses in acute care hospitals.
Monitoring system developed in C++ for UNIX using PC’s as
X-11 terminals. Plan
generation portion written in Smalltalk.
Development included object oriented interface to a relational
database (Oracle) and seamless “scalability” from a single unit to
institution wide use. Led development for
“productization” of a system to allow Control Engineers to design
real time control processes on a workstation using a graphical control
flow language (Grafset). These
processes are then downloaded to factory floor controllers.
The user at the workstation is able to connect to the
controllers to monitor and debug the running control processes.
System developed in LISP and C in a peer networked environment. Designed and
developed a system for Medical Records Professionals which provided
for rapid encoding of disease and procedure information, calculation
of Medicare reimbursement and creation of a patient medical abstract.
Included a rule based expert system for the application of
clinical edits to the encoding process.
System developed in C on UNIX for departmental implementation
and concurrently in C for the PC and DOS for standalone use. Designed
and developed system to translate stenographic shorthand to text for
the production of transcripts of legal proceedings.
Provided for real-time translation and editing to provide
instantaneous transcripts used in TV closed captioning and major
trials. System written in
assembler on a micro-computer and later migrated to PCs using C. Designed and
developed an OCR page scanner using software pattern recognition for
multiple fonts and hand printed numerics.
System developed using assembler on a minicomputer. Employment
