Andreoli Carlo

Team Leader ATS med

Italy

I started programming at Teinos, in a 5 person software working team in march 2004. I got some experience interfacing our main program to various external applications. All of these experiences allowed me to get in touch with many people: end-user, technician and commercial one; learning how to interface myself with these people. After some period I was moved to 'single' software application development. This led me to learn the whole process of software development. From the definition of the specifications to the software release and many times also the installation of the product to the end-user.

In 2009, I moved to ATS. I was charged as Lead Software Developer in a team for a long term new project: Primo (released for the first time in 2010-Q3). The software part for this project was completely written from scratch. These experience led me to understand how to organize the work of a team and take critical decision.

In 2014, in collaboration with a multinational corporation, we started the development of a completely new machine: ARCO FP (released for the first time in 2015-Q3). The software part for this project was completely written from scratch. This experience teaches me how to integrate our company with the needs and rules of other company and how to mitigate different approaches to the production phases.

CMalcheski

Software Developer (Senior) Contract Developer

United States

I work as a contract developer, specializing in assembly language driver software for specialized hardware. I also focus on identifying and removing performance bottlenecks in any software, using assembly language modifications, as well as locating hard-to-find bugs. I’m a specialist; I prefer to stay away from everyday, mundane development. I can fix problems in high level languages but as a rule I don’t like working with them for general development. There is no shortage of experienced developers in any language besides assembly. I am very much a niche programmer, a troubleshooter; the closer to the hardware I work, the happier I am. I typically take on the tasks others can’t or don’t want to do.

gggustafson

Software Developer (Senior)

United States

In 1964, I was in the US Coast Guard when I wrote my first program. It was written in RPG (note no suffixing numbers). Programs and data were entered using punched cards. Turnaround was about 3 hours. So much for the "good old days!"

In 1970, when assigned to Washington DC, I started my MS in Mechanical Engineering. I specialized in Transportation. Untold hours in statistical theory and practice were required, forcing me to use the university computer and learn the FORTRAN language, still using punched cards!

In 1973, I was employed by the Norfolk VA Police Department as a crime analyst for the High Intensity Target program. There, I was still using punched cards!

In 1973, I joined Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). There, for the first time, I was introduced to a terminal with the ability to edit, compile, link, and test my programs on-line. CSC also gave me the opportunity to discuss technical issues with some of the brightest minds I've encountered during my career.

In 1975, I moved to San Diego to head up an IR&D project, BIODAB. I returned to school (UCSD) and took up Software Engineering at the graduate level. After BIODAB, I headed up a team that fixed a stalled project. I then headed up one of the two most satisfying projects of my career, the Automated Flight Operations Center at Ft. Irwin, CA.

I left Anteon Corporation (the successor to CSC on a major contract) and moved to Pensacola, FL. For a small company I built their firewall, given free to the company's customers. An opportunity to build an air traffic controller trainer arose. This was the other most satisfying project of my career.

Today, I consider myself capable.
