Continuation of work done during the summers of 1995-1997. Developed software to automate our SIR technique developed by Ron Dantowitz and myself. Software to auto-select star images, and extended objects including Mercury. Also periodically help run the Gilliland Observatory for public nights, star parties, special events.
Founded company that will be developing software for various platforms including MacOS & PalmOS. Current products include PayUp!, DiskTracker v2.0 and Everything Mac. Help designed web pages for Portents.com web site as well as Everything Mac web site.
Intern in the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Gilliland Observatory at the Boston Museum of Science.
Worked on software to do automated supernova and astroid searching using the ArchImage & LX200 mount and SBIG ST-7 camera. Finished the software that was started in Summer 1996.
Intern in the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Gilliland Observatory at the Boston Museum of Science.
Wrote software to make the observatory more user friendly to help less technical people control the computerized telescope mount. Also created software to do an automated supernova and asteroid search, and other features that automated the use of the SBIG ST-7 with the ArchImage computerized telescope mount.
Web master for Brandeis University's web server. Web site orginially run on a Macintosh 8100 w/WebStar and then converted to run off an SGI Challenge S using Netscape's Commerce Web Server. Set up protected directories and did other web server maintanence. Maintained, setup, and administrated multiple SGI workstations. Also wrote multiple Perl CGI and Perl/sh utility scripts for use on the web server in account maintance and other misc. programs.

Also done various projects for the Naval Observatory, N.R.O., Department Of Defense @ Lawarence Livermore National Labatories, U.S.A.F., and Rockwell International (Boeing).
Intern in the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Gilliland Observatory at the Boston Museum of Science. Hosted the planetarium shows and wrote software for the computerized mount in the observatory to track and photograph satellites on the Merlin Control Systems' ArchImage telescope mount. We have recently taken some pictures of the space shuttle while docked up with the Mir space station!
