1988 - 1990 Brevard County School Board
Rockledge, FL 32955		 Lead Programmer

Wrote software (in C, using Btrieve) to track student attendance and another to monitor discipline.  These applications were created to replace existing paper-based systems by interviewing school office personnel, and working with them to ensure that the final product was as easy for them to use as the peper-based system had been.  Both programs worked in either stand-alone or networked mode.  In networked mode, the programs shared data between multiple copies of themselves and each other as well as offering an onscreen chat option for the discipline tracking module that allowed the deans to communicate quietly while each interviewed one participant in an argument.  The programs were still being used as of 1999 and beyond.

1984 - 1988 US Air Force
Patrick AFB, FL 32920		 Space Systems Programmer

Working in the Air Force Technical Applications Center, I was responsible for the software on a computer system collecting data from a group of satellites.  At least one of my PC Programs (written in compiled BASIC!) for the USAF (for which I received an achievement medal) is still being used to analyze satellite data.

The Satellite Data computer system ran a custom UNIX Variant, SMEX (Sandia Multi-tasking EXecutive) on a dual CPU Varian V77 computer.  All of the sources were in C.

I was responsible for adding features on request, tracking and fixing bugs, and regular system back-ups (reel-to-reel tapes).  My final job was to write a troubleshooting manual that, I learned later, eventually replaced my position because using the manual, the operators were able to resolve all of the problems they encountered until the system was retired some years later.
