Employment

Dr. David Embley, Department of Computer Science, Brigham Young University

Research Assistant, Object-Oriented Systems Modeling Lab, Fall 1995 to present

Developed, working by myself, a large Windows application (Allegro, 20 thousand lines of code) written in Visual C++ using MFC 4.21. Allegro is a visual modeling tool used to design application models for object-oriented systems.

As part of my thesis, designed a tool that will take an Allegro application model and create an optimized database design.

Developed and implemented four case studies comprising four chapters of Dr. Embley’s 1997 book: "Object Database Development: Concepts and Principles" published by Addison Wesley. The case studies illustrate object-oriented analysis, specification, design, and implementation using Objectstor for Java, O₂, UniSQL, and ODE.
