LOCKHEED MARTIN, Valley Forge, PA; 02/1996 - 05/2003
STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER/TEAM LEADER; 7 years 3 months
As one of 3 software project leads, directed teams through
the product design, development and system testing phases
for 2 complete customer deliveries (9 to 12 months from
initial requirement analysis to final delivery).
* Analyzed customer requirements and developed high-
level, detailed software design solutions.
* Decomposed high-level designs into object module work
packages using the Rumbaugh OMT design tools to create class
object model, event-trace and object interface diagrams.
* Provided technical guidance to the software development
team.

for the mission application classes, database wrapper
classes and their low level Oracle SQL*Plus database access
functions, and Motif client interface displays.
* Led a major software code quality initiative, reducing
the unacceptably high level of software defects discovered
during final system testing phase.
> Asked by management to become program administrator for
all future software code review inspections, slashing
defects 40% over 2 development cycles and enabling delivery
of a high-quality product to customer ahead of schedule.
* Self-learned Perl in less than one week, automating a
tedious, manual process of gathering and sorting a large
text file. Wrote a script with several hundred lines of
code, lowering process from 2 weeks to just over 2 hours.
> Program is still being used 3 years after creation.
* Rapidly detected software run-time performance issues
by using "purify" and "quantify" tools to uncover memory
leaks and performance issues.

a surface mount robotic assembler.
* Designed and developed C++ algorithms to construct the
robotic assembler's optimal tour path.
* Wrote C++ database API interface layer between the main
application classes and the Raima Data Manager embedded
database engine.
* Oversaw all database administration, schema generation
and the creation of application-specific class member
functions.

This tool was used on all surface mount assemblers to
program the assembler's operations.
* Wrote the main application code using the QuickSilver
dBase compiler.
* Created data translation functions in Microsoft Basic.
* Designed and implemented an intuitive user interface
