Confidential, aviation aircraft satalite tracking and communications software / hardware product required a major upgrade. Think of this product as being like an aircraft's black box where the raw data is stored on the ground rather than in a recorder in the back of an airplane. This product allows real-time information to be shared with ground based flight operations, both cockpit audio and aircraft inflight positioning and performance. My job is to design and develop a new authentication, database capture and broadcast high availability server platform for receiving raw satalite feeds from the SAT provider, then relaying that information to and from the ground based flight operations stations. Technology included in no particular order, Websockets, TCP/IP, WIRESHARK, NEOLOAD, C, C++, C#, PYTHON, VISUAL STUDIO Pro 2013, ECLIPSE, CYGWIN, LINUX, WINDOWS 8.1, HTTP, HTTPS, HTML5, JAVASCRIPT, NODE.JS, XML, REDIS High Availability Servers, GITLAB'S GITHUB, APACHE LOG4NET and other NUGET Frameworks, etc.07/2014 To 11/2014 Scott's Miracle Gro' Inc.

Developed an inventory tracking system for Nortel at CTDI in West Chester Pa. to track the life cycle of incoming and outgoing new and repaired system boards for Nortel telephone switching equipment. Components included defective receiving, shipping, packing and picking modules to be used by warehouse personnel in Canada, Taipei and the United States. The software was flexible enough to be ported to both fixed workstations and hand held mobile devices without code change. The bulk of the programming was completed in C and C++, STL, IOS, ANDROID, using Oracle 9i for the database with embedded SQL tested and confirmed before embedding using TOAD to validate SQL statements. There was some use of stored procedures on some modules. Other tools included PERL, PYTHON and other scripting languages, UNIX platforms DBX for debugging, VI for editing etc. This is “old school” programming pure and simple, inside of a very tight development window.01/06 to 08/06
