I am an accomplished software developer with over 50 years of experience creating practical, results-driven software solutions. The summary below highlights selected research and development projects across geoscience, medicine, manufacturing, and business.

I am proficient in numerous programming languages including (but not limited to) Java, C++, C, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, and modern web languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL), on a variety of operating systems and hardware platforms.

I have also developed software for pure research ventures. My background includes physics, signal processing, computerized peripheral control, remote sensing, Internet technologies, and technical writing. I have practical research experience in computer applications for science, business, and medical disciplines.

Selected Research and Programming Achievements

Researched and developed the first commercial geophysical micro-computer program to provide seismic data modeling for the petroleum industry (MASA® — Micro Assisted Seismic Analysis).


Researched and developed a micro-computer program providing statistical spatial gridding and contouring of three-dimensional data (TOPO® topographic contouring).


Researched and developed software to optimize quarry remediation (cut/fill methods) by using aerial surveys in conjunction with vertical profile digitization.


Researched and developed several seismic data analysis programs to aid in interpretation and processing (amplitude analysis, Fast Fourier Transform analysis, digital filter design, AVO, and synthetic seismograms).


Accredited with the first micro-computer oil discovery (Baker 1-24 well, Lee Twp., Calhoun Co., MI). The well produced over 100,000 bbls oil and 1 BCF gas. Published in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Explorer — July 1985.


Researched and developed software to analyze EKG signals by cross-correlation with known EKG abnormalities for medical evaluations and computer-assisted diagnostics.


Researched and developed software and hardware to provide digitalization and measurement of cell structures in optical microscopes for medical and biological investigations.


Researched and developed software and hardware to provide dynamic three-dimensional digitalization of residual limbs in above-knee and below-knee amputations for optimized prosthesis socket design.


Researched and developed intelligent computer software to control jeweler’s ovens for gold castings. Implemented fuzzy logic to determine correct temperature profiles (temperature vs. time vs. material) for wax burn-out.


Researched and developed a custom CPU assembler program for DOW Chemical Company. The program required extensive linked lists, parsing, symbol resolution via red/black tree look-up tables, and bit-level code manipulation.


Designed several AI programs (rule-based, knowledge-based, inference systems, DNA-styled and fuzzy logic systems) to monitor user input and provide intelligent assistance in various applications.


Provided data acquisition, computer analysis, and generated technical support evidence and exhibits for court proceedings, lawsuits, and other legal investigations.


Experienced in all elements of remote sensing applications (temperature, humidity, pressure, strain and force, flow and level, pH and conductivity, data acquisition, and controllers).


Published 18 professional papers and delivered 15 professional presentations throughout the country on micro-computer applications and research results. Authored several successful federal research grant proposals.
