TECHNICAL BACKGROUND — Lawrence E. Schwartz

Smiths Medical

· Software Lead tasked with diagnosing and correcting design and implementation issues in network enabled infusion pumps. Technologies include: C++, XML, TCP/IP, SSL, and IoT devices & communications.

· Software Lead for the PharmGuard® Server, a high performance (10K devices) n-tier enterprise-level backend application that provides for data movement and storage between medical devices and hospital systems using HL7 & IHE protocols. Components include: Device Reports, Medical Device Servers, Data repositories & data marts, web services, and web UI. Technologies include: C#, SQL Server, TCP/IP, SSL, and much more!

Symantec Corporation

· Principal Software Engineer serving the Norton SystemWorks product team. Responsible for Windows applications in C++, using COM, MFC, ATL, and WTL. Also responsible for mentoring junior team members, build and configuration management, and component integration.

Datacard Group

· Senior Software Engineer responsible integration of MS Word document support into the Java based application used to control the Datacard Maysys card production system. Required knowledge Microsoft Windows and COM as well as JDK, XML, RMI and JDOM.

Roxio, Inc (also Adaptec, Inc. and Wild File Inc.)

· Senior Software Engineer serving on the team responsible for design and implementation of the AudioCentral jukebox application (part of the Easy CD Creator suite). Software allowed users to record, play, “rip” and “burn” music and data CDs and DVDs, as well as organize music collections on their PCs. System implemented in C++ using COM, ATL, WTL, MFC, and XML. System was completed ahead of a tight schedule.

· Patent holder and Senior Software Engineer serving on the team responsible for design and implementation of Norton GoBack, a comprehensive system rollback utility. Once installed, it works transparently and continuously, tracking every move a PC user makes that affects the hard disk. This continuous tracking provides up-to-the-minute protection. System implemented in C++ using MFC, ATL, and WTL.

· Senior Software Engineer serving on the team responsible for design and implementation of a Unix based power meter data collecting system. The system was deployed on a “server farm” environment consisting of numerous Unix servers. System was implemented on Solaris, using C++, Oracle (via ODBC), and CORBA.

Consultant (Victor & Associates, Inc., Talent Software Services, Eris Systems Corporation)

· Software Engineer responsible for implementation and verification of an 8051 based chiller controller. This project included development of tools for conversion of obsolete 8048 assembly language to the 8051.

· Software Engineer responsible for design and implementation of Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT print drivers for the Kroy Lx2 Label Printer (raster device equipped with bi-directional RS-232 based communications protocol). Development in C using the Windows SDK.

· Software Engineer responsible for implementing Windows print driver and associated configuration application to communicate with the DataCard 280 series plastic card embosser. This system was developed using Microsoft Visual C++ w/ MFC, C using the SDK, as well as Borland C++ w/ OWL.

· Software Engineer responsible for network architecture, as well as implementation of Windows device driver and Visual Basic application used to communicate with an RS-485 network containing industrial process controllers. The system (containing C, assembly, and Visual Basic code) was successfully deployed ahead of a very tight schedule.

· System Architect of hardware and software for video-teleconferencing system. Required knowledge of ISDN, CCITT standards, and advanced hardware and software techniques. This leading edge system contained nine processors: (3) AT&T 3210 Digital Signal Processors, (3) AT&T Video Processors, NCR 53C710 Intelligent SCSI Controller, Intel 486, and TI 32051 DSP.
