WORK EXPERIENCE COMPUTER CONSULTANT, NEUROMATTERS, INC., NEW YORK CITY, NY, OCTOBER 2010 - JANUA RY 2011: Misc. consulting for an image triage system based on EEG responses to rapidly-di splayed images. Created an OpenGL feedback screen that included keyboard intera ction for target image selection, and animation, where a set of images would rea rrange itself from the presentation order to the EEG "scoring" order, giving the user an indication of the effectiveness of the system, and of the level of cali bration achieved. All programming was done in C++ using Visual Studio 2010. PRESIDENT, ALEPH NULL SOLUTIONS, INC., ROCKVILLE, MD, NOVEMBER 2009 - PRESENT: Acquired a DARPA contract in early 2010 to create an elaborate graphical user in terface (GUI) to display and interact with robots and soldiers maneuvering in an d around a set of buildings. The system features full 3D geometry with keyboard - and mouse-based viewing controls. Robots may be selected and commanded, and t he system continuously receives telemetry, updating both the scene and "Blackboa rd" windows in real time. One of the most complex features implemented is the a bility to stream live audio and video sensor data from the robots into pop-up wi ndows. The system was completed and delivered on time, and it performed success fully during several demos. The software is written in Visual C++/CLI (.NET) us ing industry best practices in software engineering and revision control. COMPUTER CONSULTANT, GENERAL DYNAMICS ROBOTICS SYSTEMS, WESTMINSTER, MD, FEBRUAR Y 2009 - MARCH 2010: Developed a novel, lossless, low-latency bandwidth-reduction solution for high r esolution video imagery. While leading the development of software to fuse and display video data as panoramic images on screens inside manned ground vehicles, I identified the problem of the total camera output exceeding the communication medium's physical limits. After two months of research and experimentation, I developed, implemented, and optimized a new, lossless compression algorithm that solved the problem by exploiting patterns resulting from the particular hardwar e setup. Became the Autonomous Navigation System (ANS) group's expert on Road Network Def inition Files (RNDFs), including developing a C++ software system to parse RNDFs , and store them in efficient data structures, to perform Mathematical operation s on them, from simple, immediate calculations, such as distance to a curve, and best location estimate through iterative refinement and curve matching, to comp lex analyses over time to aid in lane navigation by estimating such factors as s ensor bias and temporal drift. The software, which supports both Linux and Wind ows environments, includes a graphics library, GPS and UTM support, basic image processing and computer vision functions, bitwise streaming, and data compressio n.
