EXPERIENCE:
Electronic and Systems Engineering - Designs include motor controllers,
high-speed communications and microprocessor interfaces, low noise
analog circuitry, scientific and industrial instrumentation, high-
efficiency lighting systems and advanced digital signal processing and
control systems.
Software Engineering - Configured industrial control systems, image
processing and real-time data acquisition systems using structured
design techniques. Programmed in C, FORTH, 68xxx, 80x86, and Zx80
assembly languages, BASIC, FORTRAN, Pascal, and several proprietary
DSP, image processing and robotics languages. Researched industrial
control technology, then conceived, designed and developed networked
I/O controller. Specified and developed real-time signal and image
processing, data-acquisition and control systems; coordinated
activities of technical staff, users, students and vendors; prepared
project budgets and engineering reports.
PRODUCT INNOVATIONS:
