EXPERIENCE
10/04-present: Senior Software
Engineer, Metreo, Inc
Designed and implemented interactive pricing specific SVG charts and
reports for the
Vision product. Built widgets for a
dynamic AJAX based Flex-like user interface framework. Used these
widgets to construct a deal
analysis dashboard that could be embedded in other pricing
applications.
5/02-10/04: Senior
Visualization
Engineer,
Blue Martini Software
Helped develop several
web-based applications including a customer profiler, expression
builder, relationship marketing
control graph applet, and java web start deployed visualization
application.
1/93-10/95:
Computer
Scientist, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Investigated new
techniques
for vector field visualization as part of an internal research
project.
The
results have been
incorporated into a suite of Iris Explorer modules. Created a class
hierarchy
of mesh
independent
visualization
algorithms for vector fields. See http://www.llnl.gov/graphics
for details.
7/90-12/92:
Student-Employee,
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Developed a method
to smoothly transition between bump rendering algorithms so that scale
changes
during animation would
be graceful. Presented a paper and an animation in SIGGRAPH '93.
3/91-6/91:
Teaching
Assistant, UC Davis.
Led discussions and
graded exams for an introductory freshman computer science class.
6/88-8/89: GE
intern,
General Electric CR&D.
Encoded algorithms
for computing and displaying applied potential tomography simulations
using
finite
element methods. Also
worked on developing the Over The Horizon radar project.
6/87-8/87:
Courseware
Developer, RPI (NSF fellowship).
Designed interactive
software tutorials for a data structures course.
