experience
  2005 - 2006
    Employee of General Dynamics. I worked at the Norfolk
    Navy Base and the Oceana Naval Air Station performing software
    maintenance and documentation for Navy flight simulators (C-2, 
    E-2, MH-53, and LSOT). Most of the programming was Unix C++ and
    Visual C++. I also did some programming in Perl, Fortran, and Ada.
    Some exposure to Clearcase LT cm software.

  2000 - 2001
    Contract programmer with Comsys (Bellevue, WA).
    Assigned to Boeing's Customer Care division. I maintained and
    created Perl scripts in a Unix environment to aid in the 
    production of Boeing aircraft manuals. These scripts were used
    to edit and distill Postscript data files. I developed further 
    Perl scripting using FTP commands to move data files from one 
    server to another. Configuration control of the Perl scripts was 
    done via RCS.	

  1999
    Contract programmer with Comsys (Bellevue, WA).
    Assigned to AT&T Wireless Services. I edited data files and ran 
    batch jobs in a Unix environment to test AT&T billing software. 
    I also wrote some testing tools in Perl, and developed HTML 
    documentation for our testing environment.

  1998
    Contract programmer with Comsys (Bellevue, WA).
    Assigned to Boeing's Scalability Test Lab. I worked in a Unix 
    environment to maintain automated scalability test scripts. I 
    also wrote some testing tools in Perl to aid in editing SQL 
    data files.

  1997
    Contract programmer with Azad (Portland, OR). 
    Assigned to Informix Software's functional test group. I worked 
    in a Sun Unix environment to monitor overnight batch testing 
    scripts. I set up the test environment on new computers, and did 
    some light shell scripting to automate some of my testing duties.
    Configuration control was done via Clearcase.

  1996
    Contract programmer with Hall Kinion (Bellevue, WA).
    Assigned to Digital Systems International. I worked in a Unix 
    environment to update shell scripts and documentation as part 
    of an upgrade to a new version of Unix and a new release of 
    their Mosaix software

  1989-1996
    Employee of Boeing Commercial Airplane Division (Seattle, WA). 
    I worked as a programmer/analyst in the Structural Test Lab to 
    develop software for a data acquisition and display system, 
    using a Unix/C/X-Motif environment. I initially developed the 
    IPC (Inter Process Communication) software using messages queues,
    sockets, signals, and X-events. I also developed code to parse 
    and validate commands, plus various X-Motif GUI applications. 
    Regularly used the HP-Softbench C debugger. Code was developed 
    on HP-UX workstations (9000-700 series) and later ported to 
    IBM-AIX platform. Configuration control was done via RCS.

  1986-1989
    Employee of RDA Logicon (Tacoma, WA).
    Testing of command and control software developed for the Fort 
    Lewis Army Base. I also wrote a C program to automate the 
    validation of SQL data used for Army field exercises. 
    Configuration control was done via RCS.

  pre-1986
    Various drafting jobs in the shipbuilding and aerospace
    industries.
