I design custom BLE profiles with GATT and GAP support. I am highly experienced with the BLE protocol stack. I work extensively with Freescale Kinetis MCUs and the MQX RTOS along with RTCS. Created C++ code frameworks wrapping the MQX RTOS. Ported the framework to work on the K60, K22, and K11 MCUs. I work extensively with the Texas Instruments CC2540/1 MCUs and the CC26xx MCUs implementing custom BLE enabled devices. From January 2014 to Present (2 years) Principal Software Engineer @ Designing and developing embedded real-time.systems for defense and military applications. Designed and developed real-time data collection systems for R&D. Designed and developed 8051 embedded code that interfaced with FPGAs to retrieve real-time radar data chirps from radar transceivers and pass the chirps over USB to a master processing system. Developed USB device drivers for Windows 7 and 8 to communicate with embedded transceiver devices. Worked extensively with Windows CE 3.0, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 designing BSPs and custom WinCE RTOS designs for mission-critical embedded systems. Designed and developed all WinCE device drivers including USB stream device drivers for the WinCE RTOS. Worked on boot loaders for AMD processors. Worked extensively with the Geode processor and the Intel Atom multi-core processor. Created SMP RTOS for the Intel Atom multi-core process using the Windows CE 7.0. Created all BSPs and device drivers required. From April 2001 to January 2014 (12 years 10 months) Orlando, Florida AreaVP Systems Development @ Embedded systems for industrial access control using biometrics. Designed the CA-100 industrial access control controller based on the Rabbit 2000 processor core. Created the software architecture and developed the embedded code base for the CA-100. All code was written in C and assembler. Implemented custom integration schemes with access control readers. Created integrated support for asynchronous event-driver digital video capture on access points Designed and developed the Integrated Multimedia Access Control System (IMAC). The system used voice verification technology for biometric identification. Developed the event-driven video capture capability used by IMAC. Deployed the IMAC system as a solution for industrial access control for airports. Worked closely with Texas Instruments to incorporate and use their speech technology. Lead a team of awesome Windows and embedded developers to improve and add features to the IMAC system. From September 1991 to March 2001 (9 years 7 months) Senior Software Engineer @ Design and develop factory floor automation systems. I worked on a component of the factory floor automation system, the Broadcast Control Unit (BCU). It was the hub of the system and communicated with up to 50 factory floor automation devices using 50 asynchronous RS-232 ports. It also communicated with a server over a network using NetBIOS. All factory floor information flowed through the BCU. The BCU parsed the information in production tickets and sent required information to devices on the factory floor. I developed a cooperative, pseudo multi-tasking system to run the system. This system would create a task for each device type connected to the BCU. The system would detect task errors, terminate those tasks and automatically start new tasks to replace the deleted ones, allowing processing to continue uninterrupted. The BCU was a critical component of the factory floor automation system and was built to be fault-tolerant. The system was deployed to all Ford factories in North America. The system ran 24/7 365 days a year. All software was written in C and assembler for x86 processors. Also moved from factory floor automation to Ford's Engineering Computer Center to develop a process analysis software system called the World Class Process Pathfinder. The software was written in C as a Windows Win16 application on Windows 3.1. It as a GUI and made extensive used of graphical entities drawn using the Windows GDI. The purpose of the system was to track the process of the car development cycle from inception to Job 1 (first production car to exit the assembly line), to identify areas in the process that can be improved and optimized to shorten the development cycle. Worked with Unix developers to port the application to run on Unix System V on Sun Microsystem Unix computers. From 1988 to 1991 (3 years) Senior Software Engineer @ Worked with on the development of a database engine to replace IBM's DB2 relational database management system. The new relational database engine was designed with set theoretical processing at its core to perform lookups faster than IBM's DB2, and was used for medical record retrieval in hospitals. I worked on the code that implemented the set theory engine, and the debugging and other tools required to test and validate the engine's performance. All code was written as highly optimized C and assembler. From 1986 to 1988 (2 years) Senior Software Engineer @ Designed and developed dealership service center connectivity software coded in C to run on x86 computer systems to connect the dealership service area directly with Ford Motor Company's dealership division. Worked directly with backend software engineers and DBAs to design and develop the communication protocols used between the dealership and Ford DCS.
