Programmer/Analyst

Design and development work on Prometheus, the Canadian wildfire growth model developed to the current Microsoft COM standards and protocols.
Programmed a light interception modeling system (LITE V1, V2, SLIM V1, V2, BRITE) with Dr. P. Comeau, Ministry of Forests, using object oriented programming techniques with Visual C++ 6.0 and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC).
Design and development work on FWxWIN, a fire weather index application using object oriented development tools under Borland Delphi.
Development of a client/server application pair to work over the internet using the WWW transfer protocols across heterogeneous environments.
Programmed and helped design VISTAS, a 3-dimensional tree stand statistical and visualization tool.
Helped design and implement a pathogen simulator (SWAT) which was integrated into a tree growth simulator (TASS).
Design and development of the Breed program, a cost effectiveness evaluation of tree breeding programmes. Work involved design and implementation of a Windows user interface for a ported DOS-based application.
