Principle Software Engineer

TASC Inc., Reston, VA

February 92 to March 96

As a senior member of the Information Refinery team, prototyped a high-speed NLP-based text extraction system, using UNIX "C" language and X-Windows/Motif, and developed an Analyst Workstation GUI in TCL/TK to encapsulate the text extraction and visualization functions. Earlier projects included the reverse engineering and efficiency analysis of a secure communications package, a JPEG algorithm migration from a DOS to a UNIX platform, a multiple-port communications subsystem utilizing NITF TACO2 and SLIP protocols, an Open Window-based GUI for real-time viewing of encoded data passing through a Sparc serial port, and a tool for converting flat files to Sybase format on a NeXt platform.
 

Senior Software Engineer

Paramax Corporation, Reston, VA

May 85 to January 92

As lead engineer on the Multi-Level Secure LAN prototype, designed and coded various software components on both DOS and UNIX platforms, including an extended-precision math library, prime number and key generators, CRC calculators, DES and RSA encryption routines, communication and display software, and various security features. Other products included a Jammer-to-Signal analysis tool, a statistical naval traffic simulator, a hierarchical agglomerative technique for multiple signal separation, and a turnkey system for generating 2167A documentation directly from CASE constructs.
 

Member Technical Staff

Locus Incorporated, Alexandria, VA

July 82 to May 85

Provided sole software support for the Naval Tracker/Correlator Text Bed (NTCTB) group at the Naval Research Laboratory. Using Fortran on VMS and UNIX platforms, developed systems to simulate naval traffic scenarios, compute statistical measures of performance, and generate graphical representations to support analytical and comparative testing.
