GOALS:

To provide onsite/offsite software development services that require a
detailed knowledge of design, code and debugging techniques, with a
preference towards hardware based real-time applications.

My primary goal is to provide you with access to software services for
peak development cycles, or short term projects that don't necessitate
hiring a full time employee. Full time positions may be considered in
special circumstances.


As an offsite software engineer, I have provided clients in the
Gainesville, FL region with computer programming services for over
10 years, and have been active in the computer industry since 1985.
My experience in computer programming has addressed the needs of real
time control systems, device controllers/simulators, hardware diagnostics,
throughput optimization, systems integration, user interface and
system upgrade requirements.

In addition, I have an experienced technical writer available for
related documentation.


COMPUTER PLATFORM / LANGUAGES / TOOLS / HARDWARE
Windows / C, C++ (Visual Studio 6.0) / Embedded systems: 68K, X86, Z80, Z8000, ARM RTOS, RS232/RS422, Oscopes, Digital logic analyzers.



EXPERIENCE
Please note that concurrent employment dates result from offsite software services provided for multiple clients.

NagraVision USA, Gainesville, FL, Aug 2007 to Aug 2008
Developed code for Digital TV System STB (Settop Box) and associated satellite dish LNB (via DISEqC 2.0) to allow video content control based on embedded GPS (Global Position System) device. This rapid development effort required full design, implementation and testing of drivers and secure serial I/O protocol for new STB and GPS equipment. In addition, the effort also required development of a proprietary method of geographical polygon processing using ArcView/ArcGIS systems.
