Professional Work
All code shown here remains in use in commercial products being sold today.

The following is taken from my work on a set-top box, early in 2000.

Flash code - Code (in C) that is loaded from a host PC into RAM in the set-top box and then loads the code to be flashed from the host PC, via a serial link, and flashes it. I got this working, after the code was ported, to use the new embedded operating system function calls as they became after the OS was upgraded.

The following are taken from my work on a hospital infusion (IV) pump, 1995-1999, written in C and 68HC16 assembly language.

Unsigned long (32 bit) binary division routine, in 68HC16 assembly language, (the divide: section) rewritten by me when the library routine supplied from the compiler vendor failed for certain ranges of data. Explanatory pseudo-code follows the assembly language.

Function to process an indefintely-long list of (unsigned long) factors and divisors (limited to max of 20 each) while keeping at least 3 significant figures of precision and arriving at a result larger than zero and less than or equal to a defined maximum value (or the maximum value of  an unsigned long, whichever is less).

Mode07() - this is the pump's "dose modes" routine; it processes entry of the parameters required to pump in the units required for a given drug (eg ug/kg/min); written by me in its entirety, except for some small additions for history logging; designed by me from an original, much simpler basic prototype of an unrelated feature.

GetUOptions() - this is a function that processes access to special user options on the pump. This function was not originated by me, but it was heavily modified by me for expanded functionality.

A database user interface that I wrote in 1988 professionally, which I further debugged and expanded into a personal telephone number database in 1994. The ISAM portion was written by a coworker. Since 2000 it seems that the day-of-the-week feature that I added in 1994 no longer works correctly, probably because the formula is no longer valid. This was written in GW-BASIC and Microsoft Quickbasic and runs in DOS: Distributable - Source.

Resume

Here's my resume*: Online HTML; MS-Word (ver. 2002) document that you can download: WiebeJamesResume2007inMSWordver2002.doc. (Updated Aug 16, 2007).

Also, I'm on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com). If you're a colleague and would like to join me on this referral network, please let me know! Also, if you would like me to give your name to placement agencies/recruiters, please let me know.

*(As opposed to a CV which would be a complete list of everything one has done)

*MS-Windows XP Windows Explorer reads zip files, or you can get a zipfile reader at http://www.winzip.com  or at http://www.pkware.com. Lastly, here is the final version for MS-DOS: pkz204g (as of Feb 1, 1993!) -- .exe -- renamed to .zip -- when downloaded it is openable as a zipfile (in WinZip, at least) or you can rename it .exe and run it in MS-DOS to unpack it (which is all it takes to install for MS-DOS).
As always, caution should be urged when downloading executable files. Please make sure that your virus scanner is up-to-date. I upload from computers that are protected by the latest scanners, but infection may occur on the server.
