Submission Tracking and Reporting System (STARS) - Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine, 1991-1992. Consulting support was given to the Food and Drug Administration. Over a twelve-month period, responsibilities included relational model design, specification development, and programming. The system was developed in Oracle and supported the submission and tracking of applications and other documents as part of a process of approving animal drugs for distribution and use.

Pathology Diagnosis Support System - Converging Technologies, Harwood, MD, 1988-1991. A full function information processing tool to facilitate the collection, storage, and analysis of histopathology data was developed. This project represented a two-year development effort. Responsibilities included analysis, software development, maintenance, and consulting heavily with the pathology team and members of the National Center for Toxicological Research. Various tools were employed in the development process, including C, OS/2 Presentation Manager, Oracle, and OS/2 Database Manager. The system supported data collection, reporting and historical data storage and was compatible with the National Toxicology Program's Toxicology Data Management System and Pathology Code Table. An attempt was made to incorporate voice-recognition technology into the system, and a number of products were reviewed and evaluated.

RATS Analysis System - Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, Baltimore, MD, 1984-1985. A microcomputer-based system to determine the dose deposition of radiolabeled antiferritin antibody in the organs of laboratory animals was designed and implemented. The project represented a one-year development effort. Responsible for system specification development, software development, maintenance, and hardware integration. The program provided for data collection, storage, and retrieval of scientific data, statistical analysis, graphing, and printed reports.

Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) - Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland, 1995-2001. Provided consulting support as the lead database developer for ground support software on the NEAR project. This project represented a two-year effort. A distributed client/server database was implemented using Oracle 7.x on a DEC Alpha and HP 9000 using SQL*Net and Symmetric Replication. Client workstation software for mission operations was developed under X-Windows using C, C++, XVT, Oracle Forms and Oracle Pro*C. Database components included command and telemetry definition, telemetry data capture and dissemination, and management of command scripts for spacecraft operation and simulation.

Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) - Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland, 1997. Provided consulting support for the design of the mission data center. Specific duties were to provide guidance on object oriented design techniques and data management issues to develop. The mission data center software tools supported telemetry services, the mission database, and mission publication. A client/server environment was developed using C, C++, Java, HTML, and Oracle RDBMS.

Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) - Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland, 1994-1995. Provided consulting support as the lead database engineer for the development of the Assessment Database. The software was used to capture, manage and disseminate spacecraft telemetry on the MSX project. This project represented a six-month effort. A distribute, parallel client/server database was implemented using Oracle 7.x on several DEC Alphas using C, C++, Oracle Forms and Oracle Pro*C.

Engineering Design Database - DARPA Grant DAAH01-92-C-R350, 1992-1993. Developed a requirements management tool to enable concurrent engineering for systems engineers.

Space Science Database System - NASA / Goddard Space Flight Center, 1990-1995. Modernized a legacy proprietary database system containing terabytes of space science data. The system was converted to a client/server architecture using a standalone Unix/Ingres database connected with the enterprise operating system via TCP/IP socket programming.

Systems Engineering Document Database - Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland, 1987-1991. Developed the Systems Engineering Document Database (SEDDB) for the Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). This project represented a two-year development effort. Directly responsible for all software development, maintenance, and consulting heavily with engineers as the program evolved to its present form. The system was developed using Oracle relational database servers running under Unix and VAX/VMS. User interface software was developed on Macintosh client workstations using Oracle and HyperCard and on Unix clients using SQL*Forms. Assorted utilities were developed in the C/C++ programming language. The SEDDB is an automated tool initially being used to support the UHF Follow-On effort at JHU/APL and SPAWAR. The purpose of the SEDDB is to automate the generation, managing, tracing and reviewing of requirements using a computerized database. Requirements are maintained in a tree format: sponsor information is stored at the top level; each successive level down the tree, more detail is identified; implementation details appear at the leaf nodes of the tree.
