10/96 - 3/98 software engineer TRW Incorporated
Systems design and integration on a pilot program to evaluate the feasibility of handling and exploiting imagery with readily available, and relatively inexpensive, hardware. I configured and maintained Sun servers with an average of about half a terabyte of on-line storage, each. These servers were running Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6, and the Veritas Volume Manager, and were networked with Fore ATM and fast ethernet. Experience with configuration, management, and performance tuning of large file systems on RAID devices. Developed a tape library management system using Perl and mSQL. Developed a system of Perl scripts to gather and display statistical information about daily imagery flow, and automatically produce web-accessible summary diagrams of the results.

Supporting Cray's SPARC/Solaris compatible CS6400 server product, and working application and operating system issues on that platform. Applications programming (solution of large matrices) on C90 and YMP (Unicos) systems with attached T3Ds.
11/91 - 10/95 network systems engineer Argonne National Laboratory
Consultant to a modeling and simulation group for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. System and applications support for a Unix-based network of high performance systems. Experience includes UNIX system administration, security issues, and hardware evaluation. Code optimization, parallelization, and conversion for multiprocessing architectures. SunOS, and Solaris 2.x. Experience with Sun's MT compilers, and thread and process management in a multiprocessor environment. Mosaic and http on a network with no external connections.
11/85 - 10/91 math programmer Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Managed a number of UNIX networks. Diskless and diskfull Sun and DEC workstations, Sun and Solbourne servers, and X-terminals. Hardware and software evaluation. I was responsible for hardware installation, system and application software, network maintenance, planning, and monitoring network performance. Experience with SunOS, Ultrix, TCP/IP, and kernel modification for LINCS protocol. Consulting on programming, code optimization, and networking problems. Code conversion (Prime to Sun and Sun to Cray). Graphics software evaluation. Graphics application development on Sun workstations.
1/76 - 11/85 software engineer
During this time period I was employed in the petroleum industry doing computer applications in geological exploration. My employers included Amoco, Phillips 66, and Standard of Ohio. Applications included computer mapping, statistical analysis, graphics, microcomputer based data collection, voice I/O, and image processing. IBM, DEC, and array processor hardware.
9/72 - 12/75 senior scientist University of Virginia
Post doctoral study in the School of Engineering, Department of Materials Science. Teaching, advising graduate students, and materials research.
I have programmed in many of the procedural languages, with the exception of Cobol and Ada, and some functional languages. My programming experience includes Perl, C, C++, PHP, and SmallTalk. I have worked with object oriented design. I have also had experience with a number of scripting languages (such as the C shell, bash, Korn shell, or DCL) and "make". My background includes graphics application programming with several different graphics packages, and I've worked extensively with the TeX text formatting language. I also have a working knowledge of SQL, and am familiar with most of the commonly used database systems, including msql and MySQL.
