CAREER GOALS
A satisfying career in software engineering developing C++ applications on the Mac OS X. Cross-platform development is particularly interesting. Location preference for the northeast.
EXPERIENCE
Eastman Kodak -
Rochester, NY: April 2005 - present
Senior Software Engineer
Developing Mac OS X support software for Kodak's Easyshare Inkjet printer family. Primary responsibilities include USB, network and wifi connectivity support for the printer driver and Home Center utility. Development work in Xcode using C++.
Additional responsibilities included giving developer technology presentation given at Technology meetings:
Gene Codes
Corporation - Ann Arbor, MI: March 2001 - April
2005
Macintosh Software Engineer
World Trade Center: Design and Development of M-FISys (Mass Fatality Identification System), the DNA forensic identification software used by the city of New York to identify the remains of the victims of the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. In September 2001, Gene Codes was contracted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to design and write the software; implementation is done using the XP methodology and the C# programming language on the .NET platform. The development team makes weekly releases, each of which is personally delivered to New York.
Primary work in Kinship Analysis for Mac OS X and Windows. This involves determining likelihood ratios and the mathematical equations used for the computations. Metrowerks CodeWarrior was used for the development of the C++ algorithmic code with interfaces for both command-line and cross-platform GUI.
Sequencher: Developing updates to the critically acclaimed Sequencher, a DNA sequence analysis software package available for MacOS and Windows. Instrumental in the Carbonization port of Sequencher 4.2 to Mac OS X. Involved in the development of Sequencher versions 4.5, 4.2.x and 4.1.4. Development done in C++ with Metrowerks CodeWarrior.
Eastman Kodak -
Rochester, NY: October 1994 - February 2001
Senior Software Engineer
Developing cross-platform object oriented C++ software for Kodak's Printer Driver Group. Design and implementation of Universal Printer Calibration software for the Macintosh and Windows operating systems. Support software for various Kodak thermal printers including Kodak DCP 9000, Kodak XLS 8600, Kodak Digital Science 8650 & 8670 printers and Kodak Polychrome DCP 9300 proofer. Development work in Metrowerks CodeWarrior.
Additional responsibilities included giving developer technology presentation given at the Driver Group's biweekly Technology meetings:
DuPont Core Technology
- Wilmington, DE: July 1993 - June 1994
Macintosh Software Developer
Contracted to implement DuPont's HyperColor application, used for extending the color gamut on DuPont printers, as conceived and designed by noted color scientist and expert, Don Hutcheson. The software was praised in MacWeek's review. Contracting Agency: Wesson, Taylor, Wells. Development using MPW C and Metrowerks CodeWarrior.
Hoyle Corporation of Delaware - Wilmington, DE: September 1989 -
October 1994
Contractor - Software Engineer / Consultant
Under my corporate name, I consulted and contracted various short term projects. These projects involvied a wide range of development environments including Turbo Pascal for the Macintosh, Think Pascal, Think C and Turbo Pascal for Windows. Including development of the freeware card game Hoyle's Draw Poker, which ranked in AOL's Top 10 Downloads of March 1993.
