Work Experience
CADD Productivity - Computer Aided Drafting
& Design Services -
Self employed providing programming, customization,
database design, instruction and drafting & design services.
Industries served include:
·
Architecture
·
Civil and Geotechnical Engineering
·
Commercial & Golf Irrigation
·
Geographic Information Systems
Software
for Architects, siting and grading of residential developments:
·
Created a custom solution which
calculates critical construction elevations.
·
Comparing the site elevations to
a specific lot model data, the software automatically calculates footing,
top of foundation wall, and finished floor elevations.
Software
for the City of
·
Designed a unique set of CAD standards which operates
as an AutoCAD software add-on.
·
The project incorporates layers, blocks, and templates
under one umbrella to methodize the creation of drawings which comply with
the City’s particular standards and downstream GIS inheritance requirements.
Software
for Geostructural
Engineering:
·
Automated the creation of shoring
sections in AutoCAD. Given (spreadsheet driven) parameters such as load, height,
tieback length and angle, multiple detailed sections are drawn automatically.
·
Created software to layout geostructural
elements such as caissons and piles around a foundation footprint, taking
in to account variable excavation and spacing requirements in three dimensions.
·
Consolidated existing automation
programs in to one package (of configurable tool palettes) organized by function.
Software
for Commercial Irrigation designers:
·
Automation of GPS data translation,
design and as-built documentation.
·
Designed a pipe tracing algorithm
which records the relationships of pumps, valves, pipes & sprinkler heads.
·
The software solution builds the
database tables which the automated irrigation systems use to manage water
delivery.
·
Employed SQL for quick load calculations,
automatic color coding (of drawings), and bills of material.
Software
for PGA Irrigation consultants:
·
Custom software created with Visual
Basic and ERSI MapObjects.
·
The software manipulates GIS files
to control the display of queried map data.
·
The software creates new objects
from map database queries for export to other file formats.
Software
for the Ontario Realty Corporation:
·
Software to facilitate the creation,
checking and documentation of contractor submitted drawings.
·
Linking Access, Adobe, AutoCAD and
Excel, the software’s configurable interface provides data translation tools,
generates detailed reports and manages over six hundred thousand possible
layer name combinations.
