Simulation software design and creation has been my passion for many years. I have been lucky enough to put my passion to work for the last fourteen years. I have enjoyed working as a team member developing simulation software with full documentation, implementation and testing phases. Reality has challenged me to hone the skills necessary to create good code on the "fly" or with shortened deadlines and rapidly changing requirements. Fluent use of C/C++ as well as Basic, Python and JAVA has provided a foundation to quickly learn additional languages. I have developed simulations containing both physical as well as visual models.
