and programs, read circuits, do math and 3D.
EDUCATION: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont California. B.S.
Mathematics 1975.
Further self-study in computer science and electronics.
EXPERIENCE: ImaginEngine. Ported as a simultaneous release a game
from Sega
Saturn to Sony PlayStation. From Sep 95 to present.
Advanced System for Power Engineering(ASPEN). Developed BatchSC, a major
modification of the main software which sold as a separate product. It
uses
sparse vector techniques to solve large networks quickly for the power
utility
industry. Designed and implemented RelayEditor, a new drawing program
that
manipulates spline segments to match relay specifications archived on
paper.
Used C and Windows SDK. From Nov 1989 to Sep 1991.

Fairchild Exectron. Did the most successful game on the platform--
Pinball Challenge. We prototyped in PLM and hand coded in F8. From
1977 to 1979.
