d data input-output, on the C++/Qt based Linux Systems. This project saved 3 million dollars for the company. 1. User Interface (UI): This is a C++ project, which stands upon system`s C stan dard libraries, Qt Core and Qt GUI libraries. Using Qt Designer to design main w indow, all the dialogs, and custom widgets. o Main Window: It has generic menu bar and a tool bar with 20+ tool buttons for convenient operations. It is vertically divided into left-right 2 scrollable fra mes, and the middle vertical bar can be shifted to left or right to re-adjust th e 2 frames` width. The left side frame has a selected-process list; the right si de frame has 2 tab widgets, each tab widget has multiple tabs, each tab has a gr oup of processes. o Parameter Dialog: This is a smart one-for-all dialog. It reads in a process me nu file and creates all its widgets dynamically during run time, and handles sho w-hide widgets according to the menu file and the user interactions. 2. IPCD/S (Inter-Process Communication Daemon / Server): This is a C/C++ project , stands upon system`s C standard libraries and STL (standard template libraries ), and Python script is used. It uses one server socket and multiple client sock ets on a one socket per process bases. Whenever the server socket receives any c lient`s request, the IPCS/D will fork out a clone of itself to handle the job of that client. * Led several teams through the software engineering life cycle, form collecting user requirements, composing conceptual design, detailed user interfaces design , and testing documentation for the testing team. * Organized and taught a series of training classes for developers to enable the m to develop cross-platform software in Qt * OS: Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE, Fedora, in a Client-Sever environment * Skills: C++, GUI, Qt (3.3), QtDesigner, KDevelop, IPC, UML, CVS, gdb 11/2002 - 8/2003 Agilenix Consultants Sugar Land, TX Software Architect/Analyst/Consultant/Technical Trainer Provided consulting services to clients: * Wrote C++/Qt/KDevelop Tutorials (for Qt 2.3), posted online for the Qt base Op en Source Community * Supervised the porting of existing products from Windows or UNIX systems to Li nux systems * Performed troubleshooting for multi-platform software development projects. * Conducted Qt based technical training classes for software development teams a nd management. * OS: Red Hat, SuSE, Fedora, Windows XP * Skills: C/C++, GUI, Qt (3.1), X-Motif, Excel/VC++, Trouble shooting, Porting 1/1997 - 10/2002 Input/Output Inc.
