2022 (Delta Positive Slope)
Develop a control system for Capstone 35K Generators (IOS), Modbus, turn on and off, record errors.

2017 (Delta Positive Slope)

Develop Linux based Video System used for hotel advertisement management of screens. Prototype was developed..

Automotive design, Bluetooth controlled car access for subprime auto loan banking institution. Technologies Implemented: ARM(32bit), CAN, Bluetooth 4.1, Relays (12V), Altium (PCB board design)

Flight Simulator Control Board Designer /Software Engineer. 64 Buttons with ADC. 56 Buttons with 4 Quadrature Encoders. RS-485 connectors with power usage of 20mA. Replaced a $3000 Xilinx Board. Interrupt driven software design with bare metal software design to maximize speed. Technologies Implemented: ARM(32bit), RS485, Quadrature Encoder

Development and Implementation of Earth Quake sensor QCN Quake Catcher Network. (quakecatcher.net) Installers for Windows and Apple Macintosh System (driver)

Designed, created and implemented a database and GIS mapping systems for political precinct operations for San Diego County. Database included over 1.4 million registered voters and created reports of over 80,000 pages.

Managed the introduction of the following Sony models; 7611 (4X SCSI CD-ROM), 540 (2.6GB MO), 920(2X CD-R), 9211((External Version of 920), 940 (2XW-4XR CDR), 9411 (External Version of 940). Included FCC/CE testing, shock & vibration testing, bundled software verification and testing, interfacing with Corel (CD Creator), negotiating software revisions, scheduling software introductions. Production related duties included overseeing production line testing, specifications and procedures.

• Edited User and Service manuals for the above models, wrote addendums to correct errorsin previous manuals. Supervised a project team of three engineering positions, one manual translator, one drafter and one test technician. These manuals were then translated in French, German and Spanish.
• Project Evaluation Team for Player Recorder Project, (PowerPC 40X Model) I evaluated and developed the software requirements for the use of the (PowerPC 40X/Cold Fire) for compilers, IDE, RTOS, debuggers, and simulators.

• Wrote custom diagnostic installation program for 4X CD ROM (760E) (200K units Sold).
• Maintained CD-ROM Drivers for CD-ROM and CD-R models.
• Designed and implemented a Software Lab that tested software and drivers for performance and compatibility for the following operating systems; Macintosh 68000, Macintosh PPC, DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT (v3.51, 4.0). The procedure that I started is now used buy other departments to test bundled software.

Phoenix Graphics is an OEM that supplies high-resolution color adapters for the DOS notebook market. I developed a software utility for Windows 3.1 that automatically configures the system.ini for the proper installation of the Phoenix Graphics Video Processor. I customized the source code of the Video BIOS to properly connect the VideoPak-1024 with Toshiba notebooks. I prepared the custom installation drivers, instruction manuals and others testing utilities. I developed hardware and software compatibility testing parameters and procedures.

ACIS developed an Imaging capture and printing system for the Price Club warehouse stores. I designed and programmed the interface for a serial controlled strobe light that is used to take ID Card pictures. This allowed my software to control the timing between each field of a video frame (1/60th of a second). I integrated an AS/400 computer with an ID card system for the Price Club warehouse stores. You can see the product working now at the Price Clubs all across the United States. (Borland C/C++, MASM 5.1)
