Security Clearances NATO Secret, ITAR Experience Esterline CMC Electronics 2001 - 2012 Engineering Manager (interim) Supervise the work of 8 software engineers, allocating resources to projects and meeting FMS program testing needs. Responsible of 3 software products needed by CMC\'s Flight Management System (FMS). Established software compliance to DO-200A safety standard. Demonstrated compliance to Canadian TCCA and US FAA, resulting in European Space Agency approving CMC FMS for night operation in RNP-RNAV space, and the first DO-200A approval in Canada. Proposed and made possible Automated Software Testing of FMS, resulting in typical savings of $5M on each large FMS program. Enabled the business to monetize an existing product, generating additional revenue of $1M per year. Project Lead and Senior Scientist Develop software in C, C++, Ada, Lua and Intel assembly language for simulating aircraft behavior and stimulating FMS software for training and development. Redesigned aircraft simulation software through incremental product refinements, allowing operations to continue unperturbed while improving the product. Developed novel simulator solutions allowing the creation of a full-cockpit Lockheed Martin C-130 FMS simulator, and a high-fidelity Hawker Beechcraft T-6B FMS demonstrator. National Bank of Canada (SIBN) 1999 - 2000 Senior Analyst Programmer Using reverse-engineering techniques, tracking of memory leak issue that neither internal resources nor software supplier could resolve. Developed new software development techniques for manipulating financial database in C, allowing the team to develop maintenance applications that completed in minutes rather than hours. Participated in the development of ISO-9000 processes for integration testing. École Polytechnique de Montréal 1997 - 1999 Teacher 3.307: Introduction to C, C++. 2 semesters (70 students + 70 students) IF231: Assembly Intel 80x86. 2 semesters (70 students + 140 students) Received award \"Best teacher for practical abilities\" Vidéoway Multimédia Inc. 1995 - 1997 Software Developer & Contractor Develop and design Vidéoway games and application programs (C, C++, 6809 Assembly). Occasionally led teams of up to 5 software developers. Developed game of Parcheesi, and \"Home Finder\" classifieds database search, for a user base of 180\'000 customers (Quebec and UK). Developed techniques for rapid application design and prototyping on Vidéoway, resulting in shorter time for software development and release. Created a Vidéoway binary simulator for Windows (Motorola 6809 emulation), shortening the development cycle by reducing the need to use test hardware. City of Montreal 1993 - 1994, 1998 Programmer Analyst & Contractor In 1994, I was the sole software developer tasked to convert every aspect of the Montreal Municipal Elections to use a computer database (formerly on typewriters), resulting on recurrent savings of $1M every election. Proposed, designed and developed a system to automate the reduction of polling stations, resulting on further recurrent savings of $1M every election.
