Network Administrator September 1999 to December 1999 Unicom Marketing Group Chicago, IL Redesigned a TCP/IP network to ready this company for life on the internet. High speed connections, user support, WinNT and Linux server configuration, web page hosting, etc. Research Assistant September 1997 to August 1999 University of Central Florida Orlando, FL Project 1: Researched and designed laser communications systems for use in Earth to space and back data transmission. Project 2: Designing and building all of the apparatus to be used in research on studying the acoustic properties of various crystal materials using pulse echo measurements. System/Project Engineer June 1996 to March 1998 MAVCO Orlando, FL Designed professional audio visual systems and installations from concept to completion. Analyzed and designed systems for maximum performance and ease of installation. Wrote and maintained procedures to support interfacing with sales and service departments. Proficient in AMX system programming. Extensive use of AutoCad release 13. Production Manager August 1995 to November 1995 Navtech Industries Blanding, UT Supervised over 120 people in the construction of finished product PC boards from part kitting to completion. Became familiar with various types of auto insertion machines, both surface mount and through hole. Facilitated communication between engineering and the production floor. Created methodology for effective material control, efficient working procedures and assembly line operation; trained supervisors to work to these standards and monitored feedback. Cleaned up roughly a million dollars worth of back-orders and current product, then was laid off for a lack of work. Electrical Engineer July 1992 to August 1995 Various employers Miami, FL Washington, DC Senior full time product engineer for PIC microprocessor based, RF controlled automotive products. Experience with assembly based programming. Extensive use of DC/CAD schematic and circuit board software. Responsible for technical and user-oriented product information organization. Designed and built a low noise line driver for installation into protable B+K microphone power supplies. Used and programmed windows applications for Map Info. Participated in various field measurement programs using Larson Davis measurement equipment. Designed and built a noise resistant electronic trigger mechanism for a lithotripter. Conducted weeks of acoustical analysis on the lithotripter using hydrophones and digital scopes. Designed a camera power supply for a film camera which synchronizes to a specific speed and phase to interface a video digital storage machine used in a catherization lab. This included electronic designs, circuit board layouts, and drawings for construction and external appearance of the finished product. Worked on methods for high voltage production and distribution. Became familiar with the details of both progressive and interlaced video, as well as the electronics of high resolution video cameras. Conducted various experiments involving noise filtering from both power AC and signal level voltages. OTHER EXPERIENCE In college as an undergrad, spent 1.5 years working in a machine shop. Also spent 2 years working in various physics research support positions in two different nuclear research facilities. Accomplishments included: designing educational apparatus and writing instructions for use, documenting effects of low temperature on materials, designing and constructing computer interactive timing devices, precise leveling in microradians, and formal research results presentations. Also worked 3 years as a part time service station attendant in addition to my other employment on campus. As a graduate student, I have been a volunteer teaching assistant for an electronics lab class. I have also had the opportunity to improve my machine shop skills. SKILLS Audio: Complete familiarity with pre-amp and amplifier circuits. Practiced in room acoustics and acoustical enclosure design. Programming: Pascal, C, C++, HTML, Assembly, LabWindows v5.0, Axcess Systems: Macintosh up to OS 8.5, Netware, IBM LAN, OS/2, Windows 95, 98, Unix Applications: AutoCad release 12 and 13, Lotus and microsoft office suites. Netscape and many other internet and communications software. LabView. Music: Ten years of instruction and performance on various instruments Language: Proficient in Spanish. Mechanical: Circuit board construction, appliance repair, car and home stereo installations. Academic: Obtained a perfect 800 on the math section of the GRE. ORGANIZATIONS Recently inducted into the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society. Six year member of the Audio Engineering Society. INTERESTS Electronics, psychoacoustics, low frequency sound waves, weight lifting, internet technologies, computer assembly, scuba diving, car audio. PROJECTS Designed and built a 250 pound refrigerator size subwoofer enclosure in 1991, utilizing two fifteen inch professional drivers, with a second order crossover frequency of 90 hertz. Obviously a product only for the eccentric audiophile. Designed an extensive baffle and insulation system, using statistical and physical mathematical analysis, to reduce internal standing waves and enclosure vibrations. Response flat below 20 hertz. Totally awesome.
