OBJECTIVE
     I want to develop innovative solutions to real engineering/software
     problems, with an emphasis on using open-source products and tools.

EDUCATION
     BS, Civil Engineering, Apr. 1994, Brigham Young University.
     MS, Civil & Env. Engineering, Dec. 1995,  Brigham Young University.
          Masters Project:  Implementation of a conceptual model approach for
          groundwater flow and transport modeling.
               
EMPLOYMENT
     South Florida Water Management District.
          Staff/Senior Engineer Feb1996-present.
          Primary programmer of an hydrologic simulation model in C++ on a
          Solaris platform.  Duties include designing and implementing
          algorithms as they are developed and coordinating analysis code
          development with GUI teams.  Administers and maintains open-source
          tools for the entire agency.  Serves as local guru before escalating
          computer problems though official  channels.  Initiated and
          implemented shift from proprietary tools (RogueWave, Versant, SunCC)
          to open standards and gnu tools (stl, xml, gcc).
     Engineering Computer Graphics Laboratory, Brigham Young University.
          Student Researcher/ Senior Programmer, Dec. 1992- Feb 1996.
          Developed and implemented features for Groundwater Modelling System
          GUI.  Coding was in C on a multi-platform Unix environment using
          Xlib.  Assisted in the training and development of junior level
          programmers.   
SKILLS    
          Programming Experience: 7 years experience programming in C/C++ in a
          UNIX environment (HP, Solaris, Linux).  Experienced in design, code,
          debug, refine cycle using appropriate software tools.  Have
          implemented algorithms for Delauney triangulation, ray-tracing, data
          interpolation, image compression, data contouring, and 1-, 2- and 3-D
          finite element analysis code.  Extensive experience with  Xlib,
          RogueWave tools.h++, STL, XML, HTML, oo-design, oo-database and GUI
          design.
