Axiom International
1805 Drew Street
Clearwater, FL
|
April 1992 – January 2002
|
Had an on-going contract with Axiom to develop a wide range of products
primarily for the CAD industry:
-
Was brought in to bailout a project that had stalled for over eighteen months
and met a six-month deadline. The effort included a complete rewrite,
coordinating with
many remote programmers and the development of fault tolerant algorithms for a
revolutionary new product. Received a written commendation for this work.
-
Reengineered Axiom's licensing system that allows licensing of CD or Internet
distributed software for Demo, CPU locked, Site, or Corporate use (with or
without expiration dates).
-
Axiom's Certification department grades products as they are released (A, B, C,
Flunk). My "3 month G.P.A." was never below 3.5.
-
Manage (very) remote programmers.
-
On a one-week deadline I created the SoftLink product. Running from within
MicroStation it neatly cuts and pastes Word DOC and Excel XLS files into a
MicroStation design file page by page. This was accomplished with "DDE" calls
from a MicroStation BASIC macro (which I had to learn). I received
commendations for bringing it in on time.
-
Developed the new generation of their cell library documentation and management
applications. This was done in MDL (MicroStation Development Language), a
windowing environment facilitated by the MicroStation CAD program. CellManager
is now up to version 7.2b.
-
Wrote the MDL version of the "EDR" program, RefManager is now up to version
4.5a
-
Made the enhancements to “EDR” (Reference file editor) for versions 2.1a,
through 3.0b. These were ported from DOS to Unix.
-
Engineered hardware key licensing routines. And secondly to the AzTech Everlock
software protection scheme.
-
In 1993 I was subcontracted to GTE Data Services to write counting software for
taxation purposes. The project was behind when I joined it and it was delivered
by the target date. A tenfold increase in processing speed over the previous
version of the program was achieved.
-
In 1994 I was again subcontracted to GTE Data Services for a "Control Point"
plotting project. I headed up a team of six contractors and delivered two weeks
ahead of target.
-
Following on the heals of the above project I subcontracted to GTE Tampa to
create a new set of phone system specific CAD tools and also developed an
automated software distribution scheme. I received a commendation for my
production (and people skills).
-
Made enhancements for “Remover” (Duplicate element remover) for versions 1.0b
and 1.1a.
