President of International Sales
Director in the Software Department.
I developed for our main Client (Sprint Corporation, FON Group) a major Oracle
application, written in Visual C++, in Windows NT and with ODBC connectivity.
The program -called Contracts and Commissions- calculates commissions due on
60,000 public phones, and administers the 50,000 contracts of those phones. It
can be easily adapted to work with other DBMS engines. To deploy the system I
was relocated to Kansas where –for about two years- I had an office at
Sprint’s headquarters (in Overland Park).
Promoted to Vice President of International Sales on June
of 2000. Relocation to Florida was necessary. Current remuneration is mostly
based on commissions. International sales in Telecommunications are way down.
Our R&D Software Center is in New London, MN. I lived there for a
while, but I sold my house in SD and I have no intention of relocating back to
the northern plains. ======*******====== LodgeNet Entertainment Corp.

For eight years I developed -in
"C"- applications software for the agribusiness industry. The software
packages were integrated database management systems, applied to the operation
of a dairy farm. "Animal
Science Software International", Two Rivers, WI, and "Scientific
Software", Old San Juan, PR, were eventually closed due to lack of
venture capital. Farmers in Wisconsin and Puerto Rico are still using these
packages. Please request scans of articles in trade magazines and newspapers,
where they mention my software creations, and my companies. Or you could visit

at their Puerto Rico plant. Within six months promoted to Production Manager.
Then transferred to the headquarters in Louisville, CO, in 1988 as Test
Software Engineer. (1) I wrote SAS programs to retrieve data, and then
combine it, to generate Annual Labor Standards Reports. (2) Implemented a
database for the Disposition of Electronic Boards (either Rework/Refurbishing or
Scrap). I created the ROSI formula using an innovative curve fitting algorithm
–Hermite Polynomial. (3) Developed in C language a Channel Emulator
(code-named Chameleon) to diagnose our solid-state memory devices. (4) Wrote
AUTO-MDL (code-named Toucan), this was probably the most critical piece of
software that I created at STK. It was in C, with CURSES windows, and UNIX OS.
It interfaced with users, particle counters, bar-code readers, environmental
chamber, etc. (5) Developed the AUTS-Tape (Automatic Unit Test System for Tape
Products) to allow for automatic unmanned testing and data collection from Tape
Transport units, and from their corresponding Control Units.
Briefly, in Colorado I was as senior Test Software Engineer involved in
the development of critical software, to test: tape trasport, disk media and

Columbia was the first Personal Computer
manufacturer that came up with a fully "100% IBM-PC Compatible"
computer. As Test Manager in Gurabo, PR, I was responsible for the work of 260
employees (3 shifts), and 6 Supervisors. I also developed in BASIC some of the
test-programs we were using to expedite the testing of PCs at the production
line, and I modified other test-programs that I have not created.
All employees were laid off when this company closed its operations in
1985 as a consequence of financial irregularities at the Maryland headquarters,
discovered by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It was resurrected a few
years later (but only in Maryland). They now develop back-up and recovery
solutions for Netware, and operate from Florida. ======*******====== British Airways ( www.British-Airways.com )75-20 Astoria Blvd Dates Employed: 04/1977-12/1980 Salary: 30,000 (Supervisor's Name: Jim
Wheeler. Phone: 800
545-7644.) Telecommunications Officer
I worked 4 years for this Airline, in a
rich environment of computer networks and high-tech telecommunications
equipment. I was in a small team of Engineers who maintained the BOADICEA
Reservation System, including software upgrades, data traffic-control, system
reboots, real-time coordination with the other mainframe (Amdahl) in London,
England. Programmed arrival-departure flappers, modified scripts used by
ticket-printers, etc. Worked "on-call" 24 hours. Often we had to take
care of emergencies, requiring immediate air-shuttling to BA's ticket offices
(at many US airports: NY-JFK, Washington-Dulles, Boston-Logan, …) where we
would do on-site troubleshooting and repairs. British Airways' BOADICEA Reservation
System was at the time one of the world's largest long-haul telecommunication
networks. It carried not only British Airways traffic, but that of many other
hosts as well (Clients: Air India, Cunard, Quantas, South African Airways, TAP,
...). I left British Airways to found my first software venture "Scientific
Software” in Puerto Rico (Jan.1981-1984), to which I have referred, but not
specifically included on this resume. ======*******====== Databit Inc.
(

and www.ICN.Siemens.com ) 110 Davis Drive Dates Employed: 03/1976-06/1976 Salary: 30,000 (Supervisor's Name: Earl
Bailey.) International Sales Manager
(Middle East, Europe, W. Africa) I accepted an offer by Databit (pioneers
in the development of Time-Division Multiplexers). I was excited by the
professional opportunity given. Ecstatic for the trust and responsibilities laid
on me. Only two years out of college, I became an International Sales Manager.
They doubled the salary I had with my previous employer, and when traveling
overseas I had a 30% on top of that (as "hardship allowance"). But,
the promised 30% traveling came closer to 90% (intolerable for me as a
recently-married person that I was). I resigned after a couple of month-long
business trips to the Middle East, and Europe. ======*******====== Airborne Instruments Laboratories ( A. I.
L. ) (
www.AIL.com
and www.EDOcorp.com
) Route 110
(Suffolk County, Long Isl.) Dates Employed: 07/1974-02/1976 Salary: 13,000 (Supervisor's Name: Bob
Olson.) Radar Engineer,
International Trainer. Hired on campus (University of Puerto
Rico) by A.I.L. they paid my family's moving expenses from Puerto Rico to Long
Island, NY. I worked on the design, development and field installation of
Secondary Surveillance Radars (AN TPX 42). Traveled to South America (Venezuela,
Colombia, Brazil) for installations at airfields, and for the training of
air-traffic controllers on these systems.
AIL used to be a Division of Cutler-Hammer, which was bought by Eaton. In
May of 2000 AIL merged with EDO Corp. ======*******====== Nuclear

part time in Optics Science research to pay for my tuition expenses. Position
expired when graduated from UPR. While
studying full-time at the University of Puerto Rico, I assisted Dr. Gonzalo
Gonzalez. He pioneered laser crystallographic studies (Brillouin and Raman
scattering). Nuclear reactor operations ended in 1976 when the US Atomic Energy
Commission was dissolved. It is still owned by the US Department of Energy, but
is now the CENTER FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH. ======*******====== PSA Peugeot-Citroën S.A. ( www.PSA.fr

Machine Operator. In 1962 I was awarded by Automobile Manufacturer -Citroën-
with a 3-year-Program scholarship ( which paid for my Associate Degree in
Mechanical/Industrial Engineering ) . After graduating Summa Cum Laude, I
accepted an offer made by this car-manufacturer to join their ranks. With 10,000
employees in Vigo, Spain, this is their largest automobile operation in Spain. I
was later chosen for a two-year program (Plant Manager Apprenticeship), and as
such I had temporary managerial duties on several of Citroën’s offices,
laboratories and factory workshops. Two years later, in 1967, I was granted an
Electrical Engineering Scholarship, by the CONDE DE FENOSA Foundation (www.FBarrie.org).
Consequently, I left Citroën to start Electrical Engineering studies in
Barcelona, Spain. ======*******====== EDUCATION: Escuela
