1.       CAREER GOALS:

 

After 10 years as a software developer I seek to broaden my career with new duties by leveraging my technical experiences and computer programming expertise into new opportunities and challenges.

 

2.       WORK EXPERIENCE:

 

Aircraft-Store Loads Compatibility Development Computer Scientist

Air Force SEEK EAGLE Office, 46th Test Wing, Eglin AFB, Florida.

 

Nov 2010 – Jan 2012 Applied Research Assoc. Inc., 962 W John Sims Pkwy., Niceville, FL 32578.

Nov 2005 – Oct 2010 Tybrin Corporation, 1030 Titan Ct., Ft. Walton Bch, FL 32547.

Apr 2002 – Oct 2005 Avionics Test and Analysis Corporation, 4540 E. Hwy 20, Niceville, FL 32578.

 

Ø       Key member of a development team with two Loads engineers who have created a Generic Loads Code (GLC) program to calculate the rigid body inertial, aerodynamic, and total forces and moments on specific load points of a specific aircraft (i.e. A-10, F-16, MQ-9) and also on the stores mounted on the aircraft, given the aircraft data, configuration loading, and maneuver response input parameters. This resulted in an algorithm that is a generic three-dimensional free-body diagram generator (published in April 2010). To support these calculations wrote cross-platform C++ Math and Loads Libraries. The Math Library has found additional uses as a compiled dynamic link library, tailor-able to meet project specific analyses for use from within Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. A GLC GUI was also written to create Windows batch run scripts. A regression test set was also created so that future modifications can be checked for correctness.

Ø       Author and maintainer of the code, data, and documentation for the F-16 NzW/Fuel Burn Microsoft Access application, written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Structured Query Language (SQL). The program is used by AFSEO Loads and Stability & Control engineers to analyze flight characteristics and limitations of the F-16 aircraft given store loading choices from a Graphical User Interface or an input file. This code is updated every year at the end of the annual AFSEO-Lockheed Martin joint F-16 T.O. review.

Ø       Author and maintainer of the Store Loads Generic Rational Document build tool, an Access VBA application, which creates the majority of a Loads Flight Clearance Report based on the engineer’s choice of aircraft and store loading from a Graphical User Interface.

Ø       Ported and modified Lockheed Martin  F-16 Loads Code to run in dos (Windows).

Ø       Maintainer of CFP database and Documan document database.

Ø       Author of many 'one off' Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications and MATLAB projects to assist engineers in their individual analysis projects. Examples include; the Wind Tunnel Data Linear Interpolation tool, the Strindx file comparator and the Loads Add-In. I assist engineers creating their own programming projects and field questions on data and algorithms.  Train new personnel in using the software mentioned above.

Ø       As a member of the AFSEO Software Engineering Process Group, whose task is to created standard software processes and template forms for the organization, I wrote the software Requirements Process and cartography. These were modeled on the Capability Maturity Model Integration to standardize the software developmental lifecycle and documentation for AFSEO software projects.

Ø       Member of the Information Assurance Process Group.

Ø       Member of the Engineering Architecture Process Group.
