The challenge in this application came from supporting the hostile environment that children create when they want to use the internet. This application also utilizes the last .net technologies WPF and WCF. The user interface is a mixture of WPF and regular Draw Context (DC). The license management system is WCF. When the application starts up it starts a WCF session that checks if the users license is valid, the host of the WCF server is running on a cloud based virtual server. GroundHog is a free application, and is a social application it is supported by two social sites: The blog for the application is: http://groundhogsite.infoThee linkedin.com group is:Limit child computer and internet time: GroundHogThe application’s web page is also handled at the Mediavention web site: http://groundhogsite.comAll software/html/graphics/css/Javascript design was completed internally.

  Christie digital systems

  Mar 2004 - Sept 2015

  Contract developer (5 different contracts)

  At Christie I was a software developer contractor over a 10 year period not continuous: The work was mostly involving Projector control software, controlling light sources temperatures and fans. This involved C# both back end and frontend and embedded C++, operating in both Linux and on the core CPU. Also a Christie I developed their first visual calibration system, where projectors project patterns on curved surfaces and cameras read the data and calibrate image wrapping so the images will look straight. Also I developed Christie’s first web solution that controlled as series of cinema screen vibration boards. This web solution used IIS asp.net to interface to the boards and allow a user to use any mobile device to control amplitude, frequency and phase of the vibration. Media block was the last project I was involved with for Christie, this was the electronics package that decrypted and played the movie. I was part of the team that recoded the software controlling the device covering Java, C#, C++ and embedded C++. I was the only software developer that could work on all four platforms that the device operated, this allowed we to plan system wide development efforts in order to improve the system as a whole.This development environment was Agile/Scrum.
