Curriculum Vitae (Resum?) Michael Meaney 9 Castlefield Way, Knocklyon, Dublin 16, Ireland. Phone: +353 (0)1 493-8330 E-mail: mickmeaney@tinet.ie Home Page: www.mikemeaney.com Synopsis I am a C/C++ programmer of 10 years experience, primarily on the Unix operating system though more recently on Windows 95. I have recently returned to Ireland after 4 years spent working in the United States and 21/2 years travelling back home from the U.S. overland through Asia and Africa. Experience Caradyne Ltd, Parkmore Business Centre, Parkmore West, Galway, Ireland. Consultant Programmer Jan 99 - Present I am currently writing the software for a medical patient monitoring device. The device uses a graphics screen to present patient data such as waveforms to the operator. Input to the monitor is from an 11-button keypad. The software was prototyped on a PC using Borland C++ Builder and is currently being ported to the embedded system which is centred around the Motorola HC12 microcontroller. Self-employed. Web designer Nov 98 - Dec 98 After returning from my trip around the world I spent time designing an Internet home page system to present my experiences to the public, in photographs and words. The pages were designed with Macromedia's Dreamweaver page editor and Adobe's PhotoShop paint package with enhancements coded in JavaScript, Perl/CGI scripts and Dynamic HTML. No employer. Traveller Apr 96 - Oct 98 I spent two and a half years travelling from the United States back to Ireland. Beginning in Fiji, New Zealand and Australia I then entered Asia where I spent the next couple of years constantly on the move. Overland from Indonesia to Egypt I covered a total of 23 countries in all. I did not work at any point during this trip. Nellcor Puritan Bennett, 2200 Faraday Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92009. Consultant Programmer Aug 93 - Apr 96 I was the leading designer/implementer writing the graphical interface for a life-support machine. Nellcor Puritan Bennet are the world leaders in life-support ventilators. I programmed the user interface for their latest product, a ventilator that employed two full-size VGA LCD screens to display medical data such as the patient's breath waveform. The development environment was on Sun Unix workstations using C++. Prototype graphics were first developed using X-Windows and then cross-compiled using a Microtec C++ compiler for the target machine, an embedded Intel 486 processor system. McGraw-Hill (J.J. Kenny), 65 Broadway, NY, NY 10006. Senior Programmer/Analyst Mar 92 - Jul 93 I was involved in writing a large database client/server system to control bond/securities information. All coding was in C using Embedded SQL to access an Oracle 7 database. The software was written on Sequent 750 multi-processor 486 machines running Unix System V Release 4. I also developed database services for the Tuxedo on-line transaction processing system. The programs I implemented were multi-threaded and required extensive use of UNIX's shared memory and semaphore capabilities. ICL Information Technology Centre, South County Business Park, Dublin 18, Ireland. Senior Programmer Dec 88 - Mar 92 Developed a client/server Graphical User Interface in C++ using X-Windows on Sun Unix workstations for interfacing to Prolog, Lisp, C++, C and other languages. It conformed to both the Motif and OPEN LOOK look and feel standards and involved working with the Xm, XView and Xt+ user interface libraries. The project was a joint development with the Fujitsu A.I. division and I spent 6 weeks programming in Japan with them in '91. I worked on this product as programmer and designer for 18 months. Completed, in C, the management program and Telex Network I/O interface for an X.400 Access Unit (12 months). X.400 is the ISO standard for message passing between networks. For 6 months, I worked on ICL's Direct ordering facility, a large relational database product written in C using the Informix database. All projects in ICL used the Unix Source Code Control System to control software updates and their Product Development Lifecycle conformed to the ISO 9000 international standard for software quality. Intepro Systems Ltd., Plassey Technological Park, Castletroy, Limerick, Ireland. Software Engineer Jul 87 - Dec 88 Intepro is a Power Supply test equipment manufacturer with all software being developed on IBM PCs. I programmed a Power Supply testing package written in C and QuickBasic and using the dBase III+ database system. The package provided many automatic test functions including a suite of online tests, the facility for integrating user-developed test programs and a comprehensive hardware debugging tool. Education B.S.E.E. (First Honours) at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Graduated June '87 with a final QCA (GPA) of 3.70. Additional Training I have attended 1-week training courses in the following: C++ Programming, Object-Oriented Design, Yourdon Structured Analysis, Advanced C, Advanced Unix, Engineering Methods and Technical Writing.
