Qualifications/education summary

• Over 15 years experience in IT consulting, software project management, applications conceptual design and development, systems/process migration/integration, and customer training/support.
• Concentration on producing innovative, cost effective and long-lived solutions to difficult problems for many customers in diverse business settings including Engineering, Management, Manufacturing, IT, Municipal, Architectural, and Financial. (Project details given by request).
• Worked as employee and contract with companies from one to the Fortune 100, solo and in teams; equally comfortable and effective in any setting.
• Associates in Applied Science:CAD, Eastfield Jr. College, Mesquite, Texas, USA - CAD, manufacturing, electronics and computer science curriculum along with rotation through all phases of circuit board design and manufacture at Texas Instruments Inc. Dallas Texas.

Over 500 hours of coursework, distance learning, and self-study in project management, quality for manufacturing, software development process, as well as hard computer/systems/programming topics.

Major Accomplishments

• Project lead and co-inventor/author of Automated Electrical Test, a continuity verification system for the Printed Wiring Board fabrication industry.
• Result of installation in captive shop was $300K/year savings and a 12% increase in first submission yields.
• Software was in production use for over 4 years.
• The system solves problems between complex sets of manufacturing data and test sets using novel image processing techniques on the back end, and a highly integrated and intuitive GUI on the front end.
• Invented novel continuity analysis system to accomplish above task on 1990's PC-class hardware. The system accomplishes it's analysis of complex manufacturing data and test sets at speeds which exceed the theoretical limits of the hardware (in use at the time) in MIPS when compared on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
• Received grant for a follow-on research project to study a class of solutions applicable to similar image processing problems.
• Retains full rights to associated inventions.
• Author of OSQC, On Screen Quality Control, a manufacturing simulation/visual inspection system for the Printed Wiring Board fabrication industry incorporating commercial and military design specifications.
• OSCQ was integrated into CAD/CAM handoff process and was in production use at captive shop for 8 years.
• Result was the elimination of labor and material costs of plotting and inspecting check glass/films. Labor/material savings was $150K/year.
• System built with Assembler, C and Pascal.
• Author of "Scalefactor Database" and associated interfaces, a system used in multilayer PWB fabrication for data collection, analysis and correction of interlayer misregistration.
• Result of installation in primary captive shop was a savings of over 300 man hours per year for process engineers who previously had to do the analysis manually, and a historical database for improving product/construction characterization.
• Still in production use after 3 years.
• System built with Visual Basic 6 front end and Access backend
