• Awarded First Place - Computer Society International Design Competition (CSIDC) 2005
  This project involved the development of an ad-hoc wireless tracking network, using Mica2 Motes running TinyOS. The project is called NEAT or Networks for Endangered Animal Tracking. This embedded systems project required the development of a GPS tracking systems for use with endangered animals in the wild. The project was submitted for the Computer Society International Design Competition (CSIDC) 2005. After being selected as one of the top 10 in the world, the project team traveled to DC for several days to present the project to the CSIDC panel of judges. At the end of the competition the NEAT project was awarded first place. An article on the competition and the NEAT project was featured in the Computer Society magazine.

Major Projects:

Member of team implementing the upgrade of clients WMS software. Includes onsite development, implementation, and support.

Fully developed an application to allow the NC DOT a method of determining Level Of Servicr (LOS) for a new roadway. Application was developed in VB .NET. This nearly two-year effort is a software implementation of the methods presented in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM). This project went through all phases of development including requirements collection and analysis, application design, prototyping, design implementation, unit testing, beta testing, and deployment.

Designed and Developed an ATL Service for the Windows 2000 platform. This software is designed to interface with a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and the Revelation DSX software to coordinate clinical tests between the two systems.

Designed, developed, and integrated a system for updating outdated executable versions of the enhanced proprietary, Device Mosaic, web application over the Internet.

Designed and developed an animated user interface for a proof of principle ground battle simulator. Project included animation, graphics development, mouse controls and a user-friendly menu driven interface.
