EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
11/10 to Present:
Under contract with ENEA Corp, Tempe AZ
Software Test Engineer: Setting up configuring for remote login of the LDRA Test
bed Version 8.4.1 to be used for static analysis and LDRA TBrun for unit testing
. Test reports are created and used to obtain objective evidence that Code Cover
age required by DO-178B level C has been met.
4/10 to 11/10:
Under contract with Sparton Electronics Corp, Deleon Springs FL
Software Test Engineer: Created, developed, implemented and documented the proce
ss for unit testing embedded C and assembly software white box test procedures f
or the Acoustic to Radio Frequency (A2RF) Launch Controller Software (LCS) for C
ommunications at Speed and Depth Buoys. The tests were run on the IAR Embedded W
orkbench IDE Version 5.10.1 using the MSP430 simulator. The unit testing was don
e to insure software reliability with respect to dynamic structural analysis cor
responding to statement and branch code coverage.
7/09 to 4/10:
Under contract with Northrop Grumman Corp, San Diego CA
Software Test Engineer: Proved that using software requirements and the LDRA TBr
un Version 7.8.3 unit test tool, along with custom scripts done on Visual Studio
2003 .NET, can be used to derive dynamic analysis on Embedded Real Time legacy
C/C++ software for unmanned drones. The two areas on the system tested were the
Radio's and the Black boxes. Test reports were created and used to obtain object
ive evidence that Code Coverage required by DO-178B level C has been met. Due t
o security considerations further information can be provided upon request.
12/08 to 7/09:
Under contract with ESP Inc, Oak Harbor WA
Software Engineer: Part of a team that is updating the Electronic Warfare (EW) s
oftware on the EA-6B BLOCK 89A ICAP II DEVICE 2F178 simulator for the Naval Air
