EXPERIENCE:
Software Design and Development - Austin, TX, 1989 and 1991 - 1992.
Contract Software Engineer position with IBM's Advanced Workstation Division.
Work consisted of developing test plans and procedures, and evaluating the
performance of UNIX internals, shell script languages and features, and
systems library benchmarks, for AIX. Also included frequent requirements for
kernel debugging. A second contract with the RS/6000 Performance Group
involved developing and running a test suite to validate a set of software
tools being developed by an outside company at IBM's request. Work involved
performance evaluation of multi-user work loads in both serial/terminal, and
X Window networked environments under AIX. Systems included the RS/6000, RT,
and PS/2s.
AVL Photronics - Atlanta, GA, 1991.
Senior Software Engineer. Contract position to develop instrument control
software for an automated medical diagnostic system that had fallen behind
schedule. Project involved serial communications between dedicated processors
and PC supervisor, a windowed end user interface, and a small database.
Also created software and specified hardware to allow remote, dial-up
background polling of laboratory test sites. Code produced in C for MS-DOS.
New Mexico Technet - Albuquerque, NM, 1990.
Senior Systems Programmer. Technet is a regional network services provider.

System Development Specialist. Supervised the selection, configuration and
installation of micro and minicomputer hardware for mixed UNIX/DOS systems at
customer sites. Designed and wrote software in C and 8088 assembler for
network and serial communications between UNIX and DOS environments. Created
a consistent multi-window user interface for users regardless of the platform
they were using. Wide variety of hosts used, especially the HP-9000 300 and
800 series systems.
Applied Methods - Albuquerque, NM, 1987.
Programmer. Six months contract at the Sandia National Laboratory. Project
to develop a security management system for US Embassies. Created a context
sensitive, windowed user interface for non-technical users running on 286-
PCs. Developed utilities and specifications for WORM data logging and audit
trail system. Languages used were C and 8086 assembler under MS-DOS.
Self Employed - Albuquerque, NM, 1986 - 1987.
Computer Consultant. Specialized in systems analysis and custom software for
MS-DOS and UNIX. Tasks included hardware interface programs; installation
and management; system design; network design; applications programs;
