SetFocus, LLC. Lee’s Summit, MO 2/09 - 10/09
Software Developer in .NET Master’s Program
• Developed solutions for diverse programming scenarios in C#, employing object–
oriented programming concepts such as: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism,
and abstraction.
• Used C# and ADO.NET to define and implement secure middle-tier components using
both connected and disconnected environment strategies. Components were
consumed by web applications and windows applications utilizing SQL Server and
stored procedures to perform logical business transactions.
• Created and deployed XML Web Services using ASP.NET and Web Services
Enhancements (WSE). Consumed Web Services from both Windows forms and
ASP.NET web applications.
• Developed a Windows n-tiered “Public Library Management System” application and
then ported the application to a dynamic ASP.NET Internet/Intranet model utilizing
the same secure middle tier data access components. Non-public web pages were
secured using Windows integrated and ASP.NET forms security models.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Independent Contractor Lee’s Summit, MO 10/09-Present
Developer
• Created a .NET Windows Application in C# to input a color image file and output a
file with a C language array for displaying the image on a black and white LCD.
Features of the application include:
o Allows users to use bmp, jpeg, gif, tif, and png input image files.
o Allows users to select how each color in the image file is converted to black
and white.
o Dynamic generation of user controls.
o Allows users to specify the exact positioning of the image on the target
display.
o Uses serialization to allow users to store image parameters as a project.
o Allows users to select a simple lossless compression of the output data.

to the completion of the Verification and Validation tests.
TriSquare Communications Kansas City, MO 4/06-7/07
Design Engineer
• Developed real time, embedded software in C to save data for a 2-way radio in flash
memory in the Freescale MC9S08GB60A microcontroller, potentially saving millions
of dollars by not using a separate non-volatile memory storage device.
• Modified Zilog Z8F4812 microcontroller assembly language source code to implement
a new audio compander solution to aid improvement of 2-way radio sound quality.
• Developed real time, embedded software in C for a serial data communication driver
for a LCD display, enabling 3 software developers to quickly design menu screens for
a 2-way radio.
• Generated written document to explain the LCD interface functions that aided other
software developers in designing menu screens for a 2-way radio.
Progress Instruments Lee’s Summit, MO 4/03-1/06
Design Engineer
• Developed real time, embedded software in C for serial communications over PLC
(Power Line Communication) and a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) type bus to
implement a TI MSP430 and Motorola 68HC908GT8 based snowplow controller.
• Developed a Visual C++ console program to convert a Bitmap file into a C language
data format so a customer’s logo could be displayed on a LCD, drastically decreasing
the time to accomplish the task.
• Developed a Visual C++ console program to generate software loads that made it
easy for users to update their snowplow firmware in the field.
• Designed Visual C++ software that formatted a file of communication messages
between a salt spreader and its controller that resulted in the ability to develop
spreader control algorithms in much less time.
• Developed a software driver for a serial communication interface to a digital
thermometer in a Microchip PIC microcontroller-based wireless temperature probe.
