Career Highlights

As an independent contractor, successfully designed, built, released and supported a Windows grid control, which was bought and used by several companies, including Rockwell

Automation, NetPro Computing and Allen-Bradley.

Designed and implemented multiple internally-released device simulators. These simulators

assisted developers and technical support staff in the development and testing of OSIsoft interface products, which connect their primary product with a customer’s factory and plant controller devices.

Developed a number of internal tools and libraries to help in the development, testing and debugging of the more than 400 interface programs that my last employer supports.

Created a proof-of-concept prototype that read a specially-formatted C++ header file for an interface program and created a XAML file that could be used by a general interface configurator program to dynamically generate the configuration screen(s) for that interface,

eliminating the need for an interface developer to create interface-specific configurators.
