System Software Designed and Developed:
- Embedded Real-Time Multiprocessor systems.
- Software Development Tools.
(System Simulators, Conversion Tools, Software Testers, etc)
- Multiprocessor Performance and Reliability Software Analyzers.
- Microprocessor Communication software.
- Interactive Multi-Media software for CD-ROM game systems.
- Remote Diagnostic System for Digital PBX.
- Planning and Scheduling Systems. (PERT, CPM, GANT)
- Refurbish recycled computers for schools and underprivilaged familes.
- Designed and developed a multiprocessor software simulator in C
that reduced product development time by 30%.
- Designed a multiprocessor software performance analyzer that,
with an incircuit emulator, identified the software logic that affected
the total systems response time and reliability.
- Designed and created a multiprocessor hardware simulator to test
fault tolerant logic for a set of custom built navigation processors.
The simulator would run on multiple platforms.
- Designed and developed embedded software in C for the 63 Intel
80C188 micro-processors used in the Power Distribution Units (PDU) for
Kistler Aerospace's K-1 launch vehicle. (www.KistlerAerospace.com)
- Developed software for an interactive new product prototype for
CD-Audio and CD-ROM for NEC TurboGrafx game machine. Reverse engineered
TurboGrafx ROM code. Research saved Time Warner New Media $3 million.
- Provided active Worldwide Technical Support for NEC TurboGrafx
game product developers. Reduced product development time for several
independent NEC TurboGrafx product developers.
- Saved Maxicare Healthplans $1 million per year on design, and
management of three facilities (8,000 sq. ft.) with18 custom designed
mini-computers systems, and the LAN and WAN data communications networks
used for the HMO's accounting record processing.
- Created remote diagnostic subsystem for United Technology Lexar's
first all digital PBX telephone system. Resulting system significantly
reduced the time required to diagnose and repair distant installations.
- Designed high speed IEEE-488 / HPIB communications protocol and
developed assembly code for Data General Nova 3 to control, and analyze
test results form, several Fairchild-Xincom semiconductor memory ATE
testers. The communications interface resulted in sales of $5 million
of additional testers.
- Created software to reverse engineer and document, logic and data
flow for over 500,000 lines of Assembly and Fortran source code. Reduced
the project completion time for a Jet Propulsion Laboratory contract
from 14 months to 3 months.
