Commercial Projects
I currently work at Real Systems, Inc.(RSI) as a Project Manager.
I started as a Systems Analyst, which, in other terms, means that I was basically a programmer, then was promoted to Senior Systems Analyst (a programmer with bigger responsabilities) and now as a Project Manager, where I still program a lot and have a lot more responsabilities but also manage other people, software projects and time.
RSI is oriented to develop software solutions and has a big client in the beverage industry, during this time we have developed applications for quality control, logistics & operations and decisions support. I will describe them and the role that I had in each project developed at RSI.
July 2001 - January 2002 (iMOST Pocket PC)
I was initially hired by RSI as a Systems Analyst to help in the
developing of iMOST Pocket PC, which is an application that helps with quality
maintenance calls for the equipment of a large beverage company located on another large
fast food restaurant chain. First, I had to develop some ActiveX controls for
the Pocket PC using eVC 3.0 (which is an extraction of Visual C++ 6.0) I developed the following
controls:
a. Signatures capture and store to BMP format.
b. Audio capture and store to Wav format.
c. Picture display with some add-ons.
d. Fax sending control, from scratch because there wasn't any Fax
API on the Pocket PC (at least I didn't find one).
After that I helped to finish the rest of the application using eVB 3.0 (which is an extract of Visual Basic 6.0).
I was a mere programmer and a Project Manager was in charge of my work by the time.
February 2002 - October 2002 (REAL Distribution)
A team of coworkers started working on a new idea conceived by RSI, which consisted on an application for the Logistics & Operations area, more specifically in route optimization, truck load planning and product delivery. I joined the team in the early stages after I finished my work with iMOST Pocket PC. I was in charge of the design of the 3D modules needed for defining, modifying and saving truck load (of products), I also designed the algorithm that loads the products to the truck. I used DirectX 8.1 (since there wasn't any beta version of Microsoft for DirectX 9) with C#. Around that time, I was sent to TechEd 2002 at New Orleans, USA on April and was promoted to Senior Systems Analyst by June after my original contract expired. I also developed the new version of an existing RSI application called Language Manager, used for translation of the applications on any regional settings, helped in the developing of other modules for data entry and security and designed and developed (using Java) a chat system that is currently used for the support site of RSI.
On October, I assisted an International Conference named Interbev 2002 at Atlanta, USA as one of the exhibitors of RSI products.
December 2002 - July 2003 (REAL Discovery)
On December 2002, a colleague and I were presented the challenge to design a decisions support system, the requirements were that it had to be completelly independent, so it shouldn't depend on any particular company's database, it should be multidimensional and information could be easilly filtered and should be finished within one month. We made the complete design and first demo in two weeks and the 30 reports application was finished in the next 2 weeks. We used Visual Basic.Net and an Object Oriented design. My role in the project was as Project Manager although it wasn't by the time my real job title. We then started a period of maintenance and upgrades to this application, which included some graphical controls using GDI+. On April I was promoted to Project Manager.
August 2003 - March 2004 (All a little)
Since August I've done a little of everything in the company, I became in charge of the Pocket PC projects and added an application for live update of the software and the databases of the Pocket PC using the internet-I used ASP.Net and Web Services-,. I also helped in maintenance of REAL Discovery and currently we are working on a new version of REAL Discovery for the Internet using ASP.Net and Javascript.
April 2004-June 2004 (ACM)
Well, I resigned from RSI to start my own company, named ACM, basically I'm doing a software for Fleet Management, and and Analysis tool, using VB.Net. On late May I was notified that I was accepted for the M.S. on Intelligent Systems Design at Göteborg IT University, Sweden and I'm planning to attend on September 2004.
July 2004 (iMOST Web)
As I'm planning to travel to Sweden to get my Master so I stopped for a while my company work and was hired by RSI for a consulting job during a month, basically I have to program a module of an application for planning equipment maintenance visits to clients of a large beverage company, this is done using ASP.Net, also I have to help on other tasks that appear during this month.
Well, those are my commercial applications, I gave a little description of each since I can't give any source code from them.
University Projects
I posted some of my university projects, those that I still have a copy of, and my grade project:
|
Project |
Description |
| Teseus "Labyrinth solver robot" (2001) | It was my grade project, it consisted in a Lego Mindstorms robot vehicle that solved labyrinths, labyrinths where gigantic wood made binary matrices the car had to enter, from anywhere and find the exit if it existed. It also transmitted the path that was found via infrared to the PC. I used Java for the PC interface and C for programming the RCX. |
| MicroAda Compiler (2000) | This was my Compilers 2 course project, a compiler that takes MicroAda code (an extract of Ada) and generated MIPS assembler (we tested on spim emulator). It was built in Java using JLex and CUP as parser and lexer generators. |
| DBMS Simulation (2000) | This was my Database Theory 2 course project, it was a simulation of a DBMS simulating the behavior for row level locking, deadlocks, updates, selects, etc... It was built with Java. |
| jorgix (1999) | This was my Operating Systems 2 course project, it's a simulation of an operating system, it ran on linux, it had a shell, a file system, some security and basic text editting applications. It was built using C++ and Flex for creating the Shell. |
| canibal & missionary, teacher & students and barbershop (1999) | These were my Operating Systems 1 projects on concurrency. They were built with Java. |
Other things
Well, beside of the preceeding I also was a swimmer and made it to the XIII Pan American Games at Winnipeg, Canada on 100M butterfly, this sport I still enjoy but don't practice, however I play ping pong and racket ball from time to time, and of course football soccer every sunday.
I gave the welcome words to the new Computers Systems students of UNITEC on 2002 and was one of the founders of the Computer Systems Students Association of UNITEC (aESCu) on my last semester of which I'm still a graduate (non-active) member.
I hold some Microsoft certifications (MCSE & MCT) and received courses on Sybase and HP-UX. I have work experience with Sybase, SQL-Server, HP-UX and Linux when I was a Support Engineer for a consulting company on 2000-2001. I use linux(Red Hat) in a Cyber-Café that I own here in Honduras where it works as a nat-firewall-proxy-QoS.
I guess that's it, so thank you for reading.
