1. Responsible for C++ prototype development of graphical, map based network telecommunications software for Compaq’s TeMIP application using SL-GMS map based libraries of C and C++ code.

• Designed and implemented prototype with “hands-off” project lead engineer
• Met with Compaq in France and in U.S. to identify client needs and to train client in use of SL-GMS mapping libraries and application development.
• Fully cross-platform – application required to run both under Solaris and MS Windows.
• Made all changes to SL-GMS mapping libraries required to support client needs and prototype application interface requirements.
• Multi-million dollar project completed on or before schedule.
• Large portions of this project were carried over to another somewhat similar project with NTT-Dokomo, Japan.

2. Responsible for significant additions to cross-platform SL-GMS libraries.

• Created and implemented full color management functionality to provide applications designed using SL Libraries with tools to manipulate and save color tables.
• Created and implemented advanced error reporting from libraries. This affected all SL-GMS code written after it to make use of improved error reporting, and externalized error strings into data files for the first time.
• Made significant contributions to graphical widget sets used by all SL-GMS applications, including specification design and library implementation.

3. Responsible for UI development of entire family of SL-GMS example software (consisting of more than 18 cross-industry applications), which are used by various clients in many industries as “how-to” templates for their own applications.

• Re-designed all existing applications for improved UI.
• Designed and implemented multiple new example applications to add to suite of existing SL-GMS examples.
• Personally implemented and maintained changes for more than 18 fully-functional example applications, including plant management, flight control, widget handling, network management and others.
• All applications run similarly under Solaris, Motif, and MS Windows, with minor interface distinctions as appropriate to each operating environment.
• Made all SL-GMS library changes necessary to support application requirements.

4. Responsible for SL-GMS GMSDraw re-design UI specifications and implementation. GMSDraw is the 2D drawing package that interfaces with the SL-GMS libraries. It is part of the standard SL-GMS distribution, and the closest to a “shrink-wrapped” product SL Corporation has.

• Interacted with many other engineers during design phase to determine “feasibility” of various UI implementations.
• Performed in-depth analysis of existing weak points and implementation realities.
• Supported and trained SL workforce and clients in use of completely re-designed GMSDraw interface and functionality.
• Created mostly-functional prototype of GMSDraw using Metacard application under both Unix and Windows, and used this prototype to perform various personal feasibility studies with SL employees who most commonly used GMSDraw.
• Worked closely with SL Corporation principal owner-engineer during all phases of project.

5. Designed and implemented CGI C++ interface library for personally owned hosting company and multiple CGI C++ applications for various client and personal requirements.

• Created CGI-based Gallery software for automatic generation of gallery web sites. This software allows gallery based sites to be edited fully on-line via a web interface.
• Created CGI-based invoicing software allowing for the creation and printing of invoices from any web browser.
• Created CGI-based on-line worksheet and client contact software allowing client information to be modified and queried from any web browser.
