• Design, simulation and testing of VHDL for the F-22.
• Developed a 3D missile fly-through simulation on an Alpha platform to be ported to a parallel RTS machine.
• Systems engineering: 1553 Bus verification, thermal and vibration testing, document verification.
• Designed and coded a high speed (80 MHz) active crossbar FPGA design on a Xilinx Virtex 300.  The crossbar redirected and/or buffered data from two sources to two destinations at up to 320 MB per second in a modular radar/sonar electronics package.  Other features included self-test and tests of connected devices.
• Developed Solaris interface for Annapolis Microsystems Wildforce PCI FPGA board in Adaptive Computing Systems extension of Ptolemy mathematics package.  The ACS package takes schematic data flow or MatLab code as input, translates it into VHDL, simulates it, compiles it, runs it on the FPGA board and verifies the simulation output.

• Responsible for running MS and MCI e-mail server, building computers, protecting network against viruses, auditing network security.
• Transferred sales database from ancient DOS program to MS Access.

• Replaced intensive manual procedure of calculating and quoting costs based on service and distance from local routers with point-and-click java applet.
• Researched new forms of data entry and retrieval over the Internet.

• Massively parallel FPGA-based machine for brute force DES encryption key attacks using Altera and Xilinx reconfigurable technology. (Zipped Word 97 Doc, 80k) .

• 8 Week overseas project in Bangkok, Thailand, studying Internet usage and distribution and its benefit for distributed library resources.
