M.Sc. Computer Aided Engineering, University of Strathclyde, UK. (Graduated Nov. 1995).

1.      CFD Researcher and Software Analyst, Thaerocomp Technical Corporation.
Engaged in the development of thermal engineering and CFD software and solutions in PC and Unix environment as well as executing several of Thaerocomp's Airforce and Defense research contract and SBIR projects.

2.      Adjunct Professor, State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Course instructing and material development for MEC 111 - Computer Scientist for Engineers.

1.      Research/Graduate/Teaching Assistant, Research Foundation, SUNY Stony Brook (1997-2002)

2.      Campus-Wide TA Coordinator, Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), SUNY. (2001-2002).
Responsible for the technology facilitation and training of faculty and TAs in issues related to technology application to teaching processes.

3.      Software Developer, Datacom Technologies Inc. (part-time) (2000-2001).
Remote server administrator for server farm. Engaged in the setting up of web sites and solutions for this web hosting company. Also a founding developer of the software - NetVIOS http://www.netvios.com/ marketed by Datacom Technologies.

4.      Process and Technology Consultant, Accenture Consulting (1995 - 1997).

·          Development of a high-order overset capability for computational fluid program in 2D and 3D with parallel processing (MPI) capabilities. New procedure allows several grids or meshes containing several segments or parts to be assembled and solved in a CFD numerical simulation.

·          Development of Unix interface for Thaerocomp's INSTED software for use with multi-disciplinary software tool - an SBIR project.

·          Development and extension of the INSTED software tools including documentation, and training.

·          Analysis of the effects of upstream turbulence intensity on aircraft engine turbine blades. Three-year research project leading to Ph.D thesis.

I have been involved in all the stages of a development project through the business analysis, development, testing, documentation and conversion planning and strategy, development of manuals, training, and marketing strategies and implementation - most recently for the NetVIOS software, the INSTED software and other client engagements. I do not typically list languages in which I am proficient as I simply pick up any language I require to achieve a task almost on a same day time frame. Recent languages I have used in communicating with a computer have included Java, Javascript, Visual Basic, ASP scripting, Php, C, C in X11, Flash scripting, Fortran and Visual C. I have also worked with the J2EE, Java Server Faces, .NET architecture as well as on Peoplesoft projects. I have two patent applications in the area of web presentation and component logic technology.
