Design and develop software for SeaSonde, an ocean monitoring application suite using Agile-inspired development cycles.

• Designed and implemented SeaDrift for oil spill simulation and search-and-rescue mission planning via QuickTime movies; utilized during the Deepwater Horizon disaster response, international Coast Guard operations, and congressional hearings.
• Designed and implemented SeaDisplay, a multi-threaded, Carbon and Quartz-based data visualization application for currents, waves, and tsunami detection.
• Engineered SpectraPlotter for radar data quality visualization and SeaStar, a Quartz-based 2D graphics rendering engine.
• Created GapFinder for automated data quality and missing information monitoring.
• Ported multiple core applications to macOS and transitioned architectures from PowerPC to Intel processors.
• Implemented and modified C++ and MATLAB algorithms for ship detection programs and tidal analysis (SeaTides).

• Developed AutoCare, a vehicle fleet management web application using PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap.
• Developed myVault, an asset management web application using PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap.
• Developed an interactive, map-based opera performance resume using the Google Maps API, PHP, and JavaScript, enabling users to visualize artist performance histories geographically and cross-reference past roles and productions.
• Designed and implemented great circle calculation applications in Java (Android) and C# (Windows).
• Built custom Java mailing list managers, low-level DNS tools, and various administrative web utilities.
• Authored complex Excel VBA macros and legacy web applications.

Engineered software for GeoFrame, an oil exploration and production platform.

• Led the graphics port of GeoFrame to Linux and upgraded the suite to Motif 2.1.
• Enhanced 2D graphics kernels, data visualization modules, and color-reduction algorithms for geological images.
• Conducted usability studies and designed critical customer-facing GUIs (Marker and color selection panels).
• Integrated third-party packages (Carnac) and provided technical support for internal and external developers.

• Improved core geology applications for the GeoFrame platform in Clamart, France.

• Improved an Access database managing regiment personnel and activities; awarded the French National Defense Medal for job excellence.

• Supervised and instructed microprocessor programming coursework and labs.

• Designed and developed Lexibase for Windows utilizing MFC and ObjectWindows; implemented fast access lookup algorithms, data compression, and image filtering.
