• Multi-tasked often across multiple projects and tasks to ensure deadlines were met and issues resolved promptly.
• Developed a tool that allowed for the easy configuration of sensors at an air field, and output/installed all related configuration files required by the main application for managing said sensors. This tool replaced hours of required hand-manipulation of files and user error.
• Wrote an extensive NIDS database development and administration user manual, in order to help with training in-house and with customers.
• Acted as solo company representative to provide extensive hands-on training in NIDS database development and administration at the Nashville, TN and Salt Lake City, UT airports. Acted as liaison to the FAA, resolving issues found during training sessions and assisting in the creation of new policies regarding NIDS usage. Collected customer use-cases and requests, and developed several proposals for new software features to meet current and future customer needs while expanding the overall value of NIDS for future sales.
• Acted as NIDS Software Manager for several years in accordance with FAA required roles, including acting as the Database SME. Fielded all incoming questions, concerns and issues involving the installed NIDS databases at FAA facilities.
• Completely rewrote the ASOS device interface, finally ensuring it functioned in complete accordance with complex FAA requirements, using bi-directional communication and error checking. Implemented new failover techniques that allowed a near instantaneous failover and failback to ensure zero data loss, and recovery from all testable catastrophic failure situations.
• Using JTA libraries, was responsible for the addition of a vt320 VOID terminal emulator window to receive and display OID data from ASOS/AWSS devices and allow user viewing of data from and interaction with ASOS/AWSS devices.
• Architected and implemented a complex network device monitoring system using SNMP polling, and providing OID level change alarming across three interrelated windows.
• Architected and led the team to implement a complete rewrite of the product-level client-side alarming system required by the FAA to ensure immediate and accurate notification of events using customizable expressions and multiple alarming techniques.
• Rewrote the FDIO device interface, ensuring accuracy of data and compliance with FAA requirements.
• Researched and learned python scripting and Java integration using Jython in order to provide several complex proof-of-concept uses of the existing python integration with the application’s flexible page creation. Documented discoveries and techniques for training documents.
• Debugged, repaired and enhanced many client and server components using Java and Swing, and ensuring the correct and accurate collection, parsing, dissemination, viewing, and alarming of raw data from many weather monitoring devices utilized by the FAA.
