of latitude. Discovered inconsistencies in the measurements. Determined that there was a
problem in the model code and solved it. This problem had been present and unsolved for
years.
Placed again into full-time software sustainment of the MMSP profiler.
Managed the SDF for a new profiler software release, and assisted in the development of that
new release. Primarily independently, upgraded the MMSP modeling computer to RHEL 6.0.
Set up a Solaris 10 build machine for the new profiler.
Designed, developed, and tested, primarily independently, the code necessary to allow the
MMSP profiler to handle two types of GRIB data, and presented a code walk through. Found
seven errors in the profiler code written by the OEM. C++, csh, sh, and Perl were utilized for a
Solaris OS computer among a system of three networked computers.
Helped to set up a Solaris 8 build machine for an older version of the profiler. Assisted with
putting the software transition of the profiler (18,000 files) from the OEM to the FSED under
CM control.
Developed algorithms, programs, and shell scripts to analyze radar detection data and
debugging output data for the LCMR/Q48. Deduced logical, statistical data analysis issues
with mathematical proof in C++ radar code written by the OEM. Assisted with the algorithm
to detect rockets with the LCMR.
Wrote an 87-page document describing how to playback recordings using the process
automation programs and shell scripts I independently developed for a Linux OS. By affecting
synchronization of the interface computer and radar cylinder computer, more insight was
obtained into the various software modules of the entire system. With these methods, a bug
manifested by timing discrepancies between the two computers was detected in the LCMR
system.
Successfully completed the Modern Radar Systems and Phased Arrays Radar short courses
from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Was invited to create and program an algorithm to predict the current likelihood of obtaining
the correct FY-end planned effort based on the current actual effort for larger contracted
projects. My solution was selected over those offered by the section managers. The algorithm
provides simple, visual evidence of the likelihood of future success obtaining the correct FYend planned effort every pay period. The original, complex mathematical and statistical
algorithm is the primary indicator of the status of each project. This algorithm and several
simple, supplemental algorithms provided by several section managers were approved by the
government and have been utilized since 2009. Programmed the entire solution for WINXP
Pro in C using MSVS C++ express and wrote a 60-page user’s manual for this program. A senior
engineer, my former team leader, attempted to program this solution in Java and could not.
Took the personal software process (PSP) fundamentals and advanced courses of the SEI,
Carnegie Mellon University, over a 2-week period in August 2009.
Wrote a 156-page, single-spaced description of one run through the entire weather prediction
algorithm for the laptop profiler. Wrote a document describing the corrections I made to the
laptop software.
Researched the new WRF weather model as compared to the MM5 model. Developed a plan
to upgrade the laptop profiler software with a more modern weather model. CGI obtained
funding for this task in 2012 for the CMDP.
Independently, tested and debugged the prototype laptop profiler in conjunction with the
currently fielded profiler by comparing numerical output within various identical modules of
the systems. These comparisons revealed many issues in both systems. Corrected
(Unix/Linux/FORTRAN 77) code for most software modules of the laptop profiler before the
project ended.

I developed about 80% of the research methods/tools that are still being used in 2014: cf.
hrv.wustl.edu; www.hrvconsultants.com.
Independently, on 01/08/08, repaired the qrsdk.c program of GE-Marquette. The program
had intermittently caused misalignment of the detected QRS-complex peaks and the actual
ECG-QRS-complex peaks for more than a decade due to unexpected characters in the
beginning of the binary QRS file output by the scanner.
Independently designed and programmed a 48,000-line Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis
program (UNIX/Cygwin/C)(gcc). HRV is a mathematical time series analysis of annotated
cardiac inter-beat intervals. Completed the mathematics for all of the many new algorithms
included in the program. Features are: 1) Easy variable selection. 2) Easy analysis period
selection. 3) Automatic placement of results in a .csv spreadsheet. 4) HRV analyses methods
for sleep and physiological studies. 5) 700 epoch-averaged or total-recording variables. 6)
140 adjustable parameters. 7) HRV analyses of ECG and EEG signals. 8) Automatic
concatenation of results while running in batch mode. 9) Computation of time- and
frequency-domain, and nonlinear variables. 10) Inclusion of several original methods of
analyses, 11) Multithreading option.
Programmed the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) algorithm (UNIX/Cygwin/C).
Discovered an error in the code of the original authors’ version posted on www.physionet.org.
The web site acknowledges the discovery in the program’s documentation.
Independently designed and programmed (UNIX/Cygwin/C) a method to line up R-wave peak
times of QRS complexes in RR-interval beat files with the correct R-wave peak times in the
ECG. Recorder and scanner errors caused misalignment. The method can align RR-interval
beat files with ECG’s of various sampling rates.
Upgraded the HrvInteractive (MSVS2005Pro/MFC/C++) GUI described below. The lab utilizes
HrvInteractive extensively to find in-bed/out-of-bed times from graphically displayed HRV
plots over a 24-hour period.
Wrote shell scripts and programs to prepare and load the text ECG’s for scanning on a GEMarquette MARS PC (WINXP) Holter (ambulatory ECG recorder) scanner and a Cardioscan
Holter scanner.
Completed the writing of MATLAB code necessary to automate the running of the QT-segment
variability index (QTVI) program developed at Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Collected data from heart transplant patients on my personal time until about 07/2007.
Approximately 500 ECG’s were collected.

Independently designed and programmed software (UNIX/Linux/C) to read various
commercial binary formats of ECG’s and the EDF format of polysomnograms for conversion
to text. Wrote shell scripts and programs to prepare and load the text ECG’s for scanning on a
GE-Marquette MARS 8000 Holter scanner (Solaris 6).
Designed and programmed, independently, (UNIX/Cygwin/C) the automation of the HRV
analyses of the TAKEDA drug study. Automation began with the extraction of ECG’s with a
Delmar Medical Systems’ Impresario Holter scanner. Automation ended with Holter scanning
on the MARS 8000 and then HRV analyses.
Independently designed and programmed an HRV interactive GUI (MSVC++ 6/MFC/C++),
called HrvInteractive, using a 4-pane dynamic splitter window, the single document interface,
and the document/view architecture. The GUI currently provides 270 different four-paned
views, along with one- and two-paned views. Segments can be quickly viewed for up to 24
hours of data. There are 59 adjustable parameters. HrvInteractive also contains: 1) Time- and
frequency-domain HRV. 2) Nonlinear HRV. 3) 720 different segment lengths. 4) An editable
sleep apnea detector based on heart rate. 5) An HRV application to determine in-bed/out-ofbed times using 13 different views. Independently designed and programmed the algorithms
for sleep apnea detection. Independently designed and programmed all of the graphical
representations of HRV data.
Independently designed and programmed, for short recordings from heart transplant
recipients: 1) A fully automated 1000 Hz ECG scanner (UNIX/Linux/DOS/C). 2) Algorithms for
QRS signal averaging. 3) Algorithms to detect cardiac allograft rejection directly from the ECG
signal.
Received additional funding by the BJH Foundation for and carried out research in cardiac
rejection detection for cardiac transplant recipients using HRV and signal processing
analyses. The funding lasted one year. Afterwards, collected data from heart transplant
patients on my personal time.
Independently designed and programmed (UNIX/DOS/C) an ECG scanner that detected Rwave peaks and allowed interactive editing of the R-wave peak locations and beat labels,
while using only 64KB of RAM. Applied the scanner to ECG’s obtained from polysomnograms
of patients with suspected sleep apnea. Analysis of the output of this scanner was used obtain
a $3,000,000 grant by Robert M. Carney, a psychologist. Scanning for some of the unusual HRV
projects mentioned above required this ECG scanner.
Designed and programmed algorithms (UNIX/C) for the analysis of HRV data of various


patient populations. Programmed algorithms from original research articles. Enhanced HRV
code by including new signal processing, data processing, and numerical algorithms.
Designed and programmed shell scripts and C programs to automate data processing.
Invented an algorithm to detect exceptionally high HRV (assumed erratic sinus rhythm).
Independently designed and programmed algorithms for the automatic detection of sleep
apnea (DOS/C). Designed and programmed a sleep apnea scanner similar to the previously
mentioned ECG scanner that used 64KB of RAM. Designed and programmed a plot of 24-hour
heart rate tachograms (UNIX/Cygwin/C). The lab uses the tachogram extensively. Developed
an easy method to detect sleep apnea with these tachograms. Cardioscan, owned by Bill
Parsons, utilizes the tachogram and easy sleep apnea detection method.

Summary of System Administration and Mathematics Experience as of 4/1/2008:
For nine of the past twelve years, in the HRV lab, I was the only person with knowledge of
computer programming. Also in the HRV lab, I was the only person capable of doing sophisticated
mathematical calculations. Between 1975 and 1994, I have been studying or regularly doing
advanced mathematics. In 1991, I significantly improved the Levenberg-MarQuardt algorithm by
finding a much better estimate of the global minimum, while gaining professional programming
experience in (Unix/C). From 1995 to March 2008, I have occasionally done advanced mathematics
on the job.
I have been the part-time UNIX/Linux system administrator for 8 years in the HRV lab. I
managed one RHL 7.3 server, one Solaris 7 server, and two Solaris 8 servers. The servers were an IBM
PC, a Sun SPARCstation 5, a Sun Ultra Enterprise 450, and a Sun Ultra 60, respectively. I also spent years
administrating the x86 PC’s (WIN95, WIN98, WIN2000 Pro, WINXP Pro) in the lab.
