As most of you know, I write different types of software programs for a living. A majority of the work I do has been in the area of control systems software development. I have had the pleasure to work with a great number of extremely intelligent people that have helped me learn and develop the things I have. Currently, I am a full time employee with Xycast, LLC.

A2 Panel

The A2 Panel was the first project I was completely responsible for from a project management and development standpoint. I worked with many different machinists and engineers to develop this flight like space shuttle camera control system. Some of the biggest help I got was in the circuit board design and creation. John Lusher, a good friend of mine helped me with all that. The software that controls this unit was developed by me.

SSRMS

The SSRMS (Space Station Remote Manipulator System) was developed by a large number of gifted individuals. I was lucky enough to develop the user interface and main software connection piece that controls this arm. This system is one of many that I currently support at Raytheon.

SRMS

The SRMS (Shuttle Remote Manipulator System) was developed by John Haas, Rusty Crawford, and David McMahon. Many other people added to the creation of this work horse and I will list them at a later date. I have made a bunch of major modifications to the control software that controls this arm.

Accutime

Accutime is a drag race timing system in use at numerous drag strips across the United States. I was afforded the pleasure to design the GUI and external interfaces for this distributed system.

SHUCS / RATS

This is a GM Fanuc robot that was controlled by custom interface software designed by me and Nick Buckner. The software drove the robot to simulate the movement of the international space station for the purpose of forcing the satellite receiver / transmitter to stay locked on any of 4 satellites in geo synchronous orbit with earth. Satellite tool kit was used to build the proper trajectories that the software used to drive the robotic arm.  I also wrote the motor control drivers that controlled the satellites TX/RX antenna movement. This is the fastest robot I have ever controlled!
