SUMMARY

A highly motivated programming expert with extensive experience in the 'C' programming language, automating existing manual procedures, and creating innovative solutions for complex problems.

Work Experience

Department of Computer Science, Clemson University, Clemson, SC

January 1999 to December 2000 and August 1996 to December 1997
Graduate Teaching Assistant

Taught undergraduate labs and lecture sections for many different Computer Science classes.

Department of Computer Science, Clemson University, Clemson, SC

January 1998 to December 1998
Graduate Research Assistant

Develeped a method that permitted pre-existing programs that used terminal I/O to be run remotely across a network using the CORBA architecture.

QS/1 Data Systems, Spartanburg, SC

1994-1995
Systems Programmer

Responsible for maintaining protocol dependent 'C' code for a pharmaceutical claim routing system. This involved working with X.25 network protocol on hardware that included, switches, PAD's and modems.
Wrote a protocol converter using the 'C' programming language that allowed claims on a X.25 network be transmitted over a SNA link for adjudication. This allowed the company to save rerouting fees on over a million claims per month.

IBM, Kingston, NY

1990-1993

Product Engineer

1991-1993

Managed the technical resolution of field found problems for IBM mainframe computers.
Designed and implemented a problem tracking system that allowed management to measure and improve field problem response time by over 95%.

Programmer

1990-1991

Designed and maintained processor controller microcode for IBM mainframe computers.

University of Minnesota Research Assistant 1989 Implemented an efficient algorithm to search a very long string for the shortest unique and longest common substrings. The algorithm was implemented using the 'C' programming language. The immediate application of this was in DNA base sequence analysis. Graduate Teaching Assistant 1988-1989 Held regular office hours to help students with their course work. Graded tests and homework. Programmer / MIS Department 1987 Implemented programs in 'C' for the Computer Assisted Meeting project. These programs allowed multiple users to interact in a UNIX environment. Together these programs consisted of about two or three thousand lines of 'C' code.

University of Missouri

1984

Was the assistant system manager. Was responsible for developing utility programs in BASIC, 'C', 6809 and 68000.
Designed and implemented a program that automated a computationally intensive model of genetic populations. This program was the basis for an article published in a scientific journal.
Designed and implemented applications that improved work flow efficiency:
- A user friendly program that allowed novice computer users to format output from a database ranging in complexity from mailing labels to form letters.
- A program that created a 'family tree' from a list of plants and their parents. This made it easier for geneticists to analyze how traits were passed between generations.
- A program that streamed-lined a backup procedure for the hard drive of a UNIX-like operating system. It replaced a crude, slow and unreliable system. The new program ran more than 25% faster, was more flexible and easier to use. The program consisted of about 600 lines of 'C' code.
