EXPERIENCE

Vice President / CTO
iofast.com
September 2006 - Present

Responsibilities & Accomplishments:

• Installed and heavily customized our online store and added such features as:
  • A discounting plugin that uses the order total along with a cummulative per user discount.
  • A script to plot UPS package progress on Google Maps.
• Wrote various applications to increase the efficiency of day to day tasks such as:
  • A Visual Basic program to watermark an entire folder of images with our logo with.
  • A Visual Basic program to keep track of the ammount of users on our site.

Programmer
Powertrain Control Solutions
June 2003 - September 2006

Responsibilities & Accomplishments:

• Fully responsible for developing and maintaining several large pieces of software which are used to tune various embedded automotive control systems on the fly via RS-232 or USB depending on the device.
• Fully responsible for developing and maintaining a program that displays and allows playback of recorded data that can be synchronized to video as well as computer generated gauges, GPS track maps and other graphical formats. This software is presently in use by NHRA and NDRA drag racing teams to analyze problems and spot potential future issues with their cars. It is also used by most of our existing customer base to assist when tuning our other products for their car.
• Made conversion programs for several companies we work with that allow them to convert their own datalog files into a format that can be viewed in the aforementioned software. Upon seeing our software they desired to use it to replace their existing analysis package.
• Was responsible in part for the development and maintaining of our website that uses PHP-Nuke and osCommerce as well as the open source image gallery package I have contributed to in my spare time.
• Developed various programs specifically for "in house" use to speed our development process and maximize the capabilities of the devices we use. Some examples of these include:
  • An image compression program that can output an image format I helped design used by the D200 Dash Logger that is not only able to achieve a very high level of data compression in some conditions but also allows for extremely fast decompression by the embedded microcontroller.
  • Various programs to remap and flash memory into embedded microcontrollers, one of which presently operates at nearly three times the speed of the programmer provided by the manufacturer.
