Digital Equipment Corpoation(DEC), one of the original high tech companies of the US computer industry, formalized my understanding of developing software in teams and the basic concepts of software engineering lifecycles.

As a computer science student at Northeastern, DEC was my sole co-op employer. I continued working at DEC after receiving my undergraduate degree in computer science, until my trip to Japan.

At DEC I worked on several project teams developing software for various platforms. Formalized team-based software engineering project management.

Specific Work:

• Planned, wrote, and implemented X Windows software is used to automatically display the operation of graphical Motif/X applications at DEC trade conferences. This application parses text/resource files that describe how a demonstration is driven and seen by the public. By developing and writing various resource files, a conference interface scriptwriter can create any type of demonstration.
• Designed and implemented customization algorithms on Digital's AXP/VAX DECwindows Motif V1.1 Session Manager. Specifically increased performance and optimization.
• Wrote help documentation for the Digital's Session Manager and Fileview DECWindows applications.
• Created the documentation used at DECUS conferences for DECWindows Motif.
• Developed a C-based client/server multi-threaded TCPIP network application that executes and displays DECWindows applications on client Unix workstations.
• Supported the development of DecWindows API libraries for CLI-based terminals. Toolkit enables Digital's Workstation software to run applications on both character cell and bit mapped workstations.
• Extensive experience in Digital Unix system management, software installation, and Unix software installation procedures.
• Created testing procedures to automatically perform regression and optimizing tests on current software projects
