June 1993-January 1997; May 1997-Present: TransCore ITS, Inc. (formerly JHK & Associates), Norcross, GA

Responsibilities: I gather requirements, design, develop, and maintain software for surface traffic management applications, such as intersection control. I've been involved in a primary technical capacity (architecture, design, and coding) in the following efforts:

• Control software for various roadside traffic-management devices under OS/2, Unix, and Win32.
• Soft realtime code for device control on various platforms.
• An expert system for wide-area traffic managment.
• Network data-distribution software using NetBEUI and TCP/IP.
• Java and XML-based graphical user interfaces.
• Compilation of SQL DDL into C++/COM/ODBC database-access code.
• Compilation of SNMP MIBs from ASN.1 into an XML format suitable for use by a variety of other tools.
• A complete management system for roadside traffic-management devices based on SNMP.
• Administration of Sybase, Oracle, and MySQL databases.
• Administration of a Linux-based virtual private network for telecommuting.
• XSLT for generation of DB management scripts and code from XML DB descriptions.

January 1997-May 1997: QuadraMed, Atlanta, GA

I left TransCore for personal reasons and accepted a job with QuadraMed. Later developments made it feasible for me to return to TransCore, so I did so.

• I've been using Linux since 1992; my first kernel build was version 0.90, I believe.
• I recently wrote a utility that I've released to the public: mgrep.py, a grep-like tool for analyzing block-structured text files using regular expressions. I find I need to do that a lot.
• I also like to tinker with robots, but I don't get to do so as much as I'd like; that's where the 6811 assembly experience comes from.
• Recently, inspired by Leo Brodie's charming book, "Starting Forth", I wrote a Forth-like interpreter, compiler, and runtime environment in Intel assembly for my ancient NEC MultiSpeed laptop.
• I have done some work on documenting the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem.
• I currently (as of September, 2011) hold the rank of San Tuan (Black belt, 3rd degree) in American Kenpo Karate through the American Kenpo Karate Academies of Albuquerque, NM. I am a certified AKKA instructor, but I have not taught classes in several years.
• Recently, I renewed my study of Aikido. I currently (as of September, 2011) hold the Aikido rank of 6th Kyu (note: this is a very low rank!) from the United States Aikido Federation.

I am currently pursuing graduate studies in computational biology at the University of Texas, El Paso.

University of Georgia, Athens, GA, 1990-1992: Completed two years of course work toward the degree of Master of Science, Artificial Intelligence, with 3.97 GPA. (I did not complete the degree program.)

Morehead State University, Morehead KY, 1986-1990: Bachelor of Science cum laude, with a double major in mathematics and English literature.
