Founder New Vision Concepts

United States

I'm an electronics engineer. I worked for Texas Instruments in Dallas as part of their Equipment Group, which provided military electronics for the US Military. Raytheon bought that part of TI and I worked for Raytheon about 10 years before retiring in 2007.

In retirement I have started a company, New Vision Concepts, which provides software (EZReader) for folks with eye diseases such as macular degeneration. I got interested in using PowerBASIC for writing applications, using it to develop an app to help my mother-in-law read books. I've since expanded the software suite to about 100 apps for low vision users.

Wife, children, grandkids, tennis and EZReader consume my time. I'm busier in retirement than I was before I "retired"!

gggustafson

Software Developer (Senior)

United States

In 1964, I was in the US Coast Guard when I wrote my first program. It was written in RPG (note no suffixing numbers). Programs and data were entered using punched cards. Turnaround was about 3 hours. So much for the "good old days!"

In 1970, when assigned to Washington DC, I started my MS in Mechanical Engineering. I specialized in Transportation. Untold hours in statistical theory and practice were required, forcing me to use the university computer and learn the FORTRAN language, still using punched cards!

In 1973, I was employed by the Norfolk VA Police Department as a crime analyst for the High Intensity Target program. There, I was still using punched cards!

In 1973, I joined Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). There, for the first time, I was introduced to a terminal with the ability to edit, compile, link, and test my programs on-line. CSC also gave me the opportunity to discuss technical issues with some of the brightest minds I've encountered during my career.

In 1975, I moved to San Diego to head up an IR&D project, BIODAB. I returned to school (UCSD) and took up Software Engineering at the graduate level. After BIODAB, I headed up a team that fixed a stalled project. I then headed up one of the two most satisfying projects of my career, the Automated Flight Operations Center at Ft. Irwin, CA.

I left Anteon Corporation (the successor to CSC on a major contract) and moved to Pensacola, FL. For a small company I built their firewall, given free to the company's customers. An opportunity to build an air traffic controller trainer arose. This was the other most satisfying project of my career.

Today, I consider myself capable.

JudyL_MD

Technical Lead

United States

Doing this stuff for nearly 40 years now. Lots of GUIs, drivers, services, all starting on Windows 3.1 all the way through 11 with some CE / Windows Mobile thrown in way back when. I've been doing Android in addition to Windows for over 10 years. My stuff has all been one-of-a-kind for various external customers and in-house use, nothing commercial. Problem domain is usually data gathering, hardware control, "allow the user to control it easily," and data analysis / manipulation.

Prior MO was to get an assignment of "build us something to do X," create requirements after a huddle with the hardware engineers, get customer approval, and build it. If it took more than 9 months, it was unusual! Now, I'm working on the "same" thing on both Windows and Android -- not true cross platform (except for the C underneath doing data manipulation) but a project that does the same thing on both Windows and Android, and can exchange data between the two platforms. The product runs on a 9 - 12 month release cycle, so it's still mostly the same MO, just now features / enhancements to the same product instead of creating a new product each time.

I work mostly in Windows and Android but I did have a 2.5 year period where I was Linux heavy with the requirement of cross-platform with Embedded Windows XP - a full system from PCI driver through service / daemon to UI. A controller / test bench running on the single-board-computer sitting on a proprietary board with some cutting-edge hardware.
