OBJECTIVE
I am an engineering professional with more than 25 years of experience envisioning, developing, and
managing multidisciplinary-engineered solutions. I have managed/participated in numerous projects
which have allowed me to develop a strong hardware-software-systems engineering background that
now enables me to address a broad range of challenging technical problems. For the last 20 years, I
have been in the development of technically challenging software in a wide variety of applications and
environments, including development of device drivers, control applications, network interfaces,
thick/thin client graphical user interfaces, Web services/interfaces, and traditional data processing
software. I have led development teams and I have participated on development teams as a
contributor or subject matter expert.
EXPERIENCE
11/2010 to Present: Legacy Engineering, LLC, Irvine, CA
 Consultant.
02/2005 to 11/2011: Consultant.
 06/2010 to Present: LC, Irvine, CA. Developed detailed system and component level
requirements for a variety of web-based application components and to manage an offshore
development team. The web-based application components are being constructed on a LAMP
platform and form part of a high-security MPAA approved data processing pipeline. After I
developed a 120-page requirements document with 27 page illustrations to clearly describe
expected GUI behavior the stream of questions from our offshore development team virtually
stopped and they started delivering pages quite accurately. My activities include:
reviewing/analyzing customer needs; developing product models and mock-ups; developing
system and component level descriptions; developing software requirements; managing supplier
performance, developing test plans. The system being developed will be used to supply video and
other data to commercial airlines. In another role I am developing various infrastructure software
components (C++/PERL/JAVA/BASH/KSH) for LC’s in-Flight Streaming-Video system that is
largely based on Linux (RHEL). As of OCT-2010 the LC system is now being installed on a fleet of
~50 737 commercial aircraft.

06/2011 to 11/2011: Systems Architect. QinetiQ North America - TSG, San Diego, CA. DARPA
F6 Program. Appointed to assist the team with detailed system/software design, task definition,
and project management efforts to bring Phase-A to a successful conclusion. Currently assisting
with efforts related to: Power-PC based system hardware definition, Wind River hypervisor
utilization, IPV6 network architecture, multi-level secure infrastructure
definition/development/accreditation, distributed resource allocation/management, system/network
level QOS infrastructure definition/development, DARPA technical presentation and report
development, and technical program management.

02/2011 to 09/2011: SBIR Project Management. Engineering Services Division. Helped manage
a recently acquired SPAWAR SBIR project (on a limited part-time basis.)

12/2010 to 01/2011: Sierra Nevada Corp (“SNC”). Multiple projects. Project-1: Helped manage
a small team of companies on a RADAR simulation project. Assisted on the project until ONR
redirected the scope of the effort in a new direction. Project-2: Assisted with the development of a
DOD-funded medical records system. Assisted SNC management with the development of
system requirements, software requirements, the development of a supplier Statements-Of-Work
(“SOW”), the evaluation of previously developed supplier software, and the development of

software development plans. My involvement was then suspended pending the arrival of the next
phase of funding.

05/2010 to 01/2011: RC-EMS, Irvine, CA. Developed system and component level requirements
for various flight-critical components that they design and manufacture (includes primary pilot
control system components). The components being developed must be DO-254 Level-A and DO178B Level-A certified. My activities included: reviewing/analyzing/sanity-checking/modifying
system-level requirements; managing/developing system and component level requirements using
DOORS; requirement flow-down; analyzing component performance and validating/developing
component specifications; developing formal acceptance, qualification, stress, failuremanagement, & endurance test plans and procedures to meet company, customer, FAA and other
regulatory agency requirements; interfacing with the various internal RC organizations (various
levels) and the customer. The system being developed will be used by a major commercial aircraft
manufacturer.

04/2010 to 05/2010: Amest Corp, RSM, CA. Installed, configured, tested and debugged some
problematic Linux device drivers supplied by 3 different vendors. The drivers I installed,
configured, and tested were: a Display-Link USB-to-video driver, an ELO touch-screen driver, and
a Hampshire touch-screen driver.

03/2010 to 04/2010: Army Proposal Development Technical Writer. Provided development of
Army proposal support.

10/2009: Sierra Nevada Corp. SNCORP was under contract with AFRL-WPAFB to design an
advanced lightweight high performance phased array RADAR system for UAVs. Prior to
developing an expensive prototype SNCORP was required to undergo a formal design review that
utilized outside experts. Invited to participate in their design review as a multi-disciplinary
engineering expert. Reviewed their system requirements, overall hardware-software-system
design, DSP pipeline feasibility, real-time software control feasibility, external interface
requirements-design-operation, schedule risk, and design alternatives. Generated a lengthy report
summarizing the results of my review and provided suggestions to assist SNCORP management in
risk management and project success.

05/2009 to 10/2009: Boeing-IDS, Huntington Beach, CA. Engineering/technical support for Joint
Tactical Radio System (“JTRS”). Ground Mobile Radio (“GMR”) Program. Developed software and
scripts to perform multi-level network security analysis for NSA Unified INFOSEC Criteria (“UIC”)
certification; extensive software test work performed; test artifacts collected to support analysis and
certification efforts.

10/2008 to 02/2009: Team participant in SPAWAR SBIR project. Ticom-Geomatics. Provided

assure full contract compliance. Principal Investigator: Managed/designed/developed software
to successfully demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed concepts to the USAF Software
Protection Institute at WPAFB. Developed various technical reports to meet contract and
organizational requirements. SP5 work included the development of Solaris/Linux kernel and
driver software to enable the detection of malicious code. SP7 work included modification to GNU
tool-chain components on Solaris/Linux to enable the detection of “unauthorized code” into the
software development process (insider threat mitigation); security enhancements were
implemented using US Government (NIST) approved SHA hash algorithms and PKI encryption
algorithms. Limited information is provided because our work is now ITAR controlled.
