ref: Write Up on Bob Podd for OS/2 and Data Communications experience:
Let's set up a telephone meeting (508-877-4311) to determine whether I can help you.
| Asyst - Reengineered, Designed and Merged
multiple versions of their Naked Reticle Stocker Systems' control Software used in
Integrated Fabrication Plants (FABs) worldwide. AT&T - Designed and wrote the logging sub system for an Integrated Messaging System. It synchronizes huge voice and electronic mail systems through a single access connection. Data Vision - Designed and wrote the NON PM DLL that allows Norwest banks to pop up customer signatures onto teller screens while processing on line transactions. Kinemetrics - Designed and wrote the PM application used to time synchronize the world's stock markets and currency exchanges. |
IBM - Designed the notebook control (Warp PM App) that shipped with IBM's new line of notebook computers (Thunderbird, Eagle and Robin). It provides the visual interface for "hot and Cold" Docking. This is a port of a Windows 3.1 Application with enhancements. MCI - Designed and wrote the APPC interface used to control MCI's top 10 corporate users telephone networks Visage - Designed and wrote the Notebook control that ships with IBM's (Microtouch) Touch Screen System. Vivo - Wrote the User Interface to port Vivo Software's video conferencing product to run under OS/2 WARP. Wrote C++ code directly to the OS/2 C User Interface class Library (CUIL) as the IBM Visual Builder product was not stable at 1 that time.

| IBM - Designed and wrote the PDD
that shipped with IBM's new line of notebook computers (Thunderbird, Eagle and Robin). It
provides docking GUI access to the machine's Advanced Power Management and Plug 'N Play
BIOS. It also allows swapping devices (such as CD ROM drives) from/to the notebook while
the unit is hibernating. When the wake up event occurs, driver letters are maintained and
running applications pick up where they left off. Natural Micro Systems - Designed and wrote the PDD used in a major telephone carrier's speech recognition system. It allows callers to dial by speaking name of the person they wish to reach. SIAC - Designed and wrote the Physical Device Driver (PDD) that processes data from an IRIG-B time standard board to allow exact time synchronization of world wide computer systems. |
Siemens - Designed and wrote the
PDD that communicates with the Zydacron Video Conferencing System hardware. It provides
the ability to merge local video camera and received video images on a PM screen in a Wide
Area Network using Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) as well as Local Area Network
environments. Vivo - Designed and wrote the Virtual Device Driver (VDD) that allows High speed DOS registration and calibration applications without modifications. This saved a major portion of a DOS -> OS/2 porting activity for IBM 's (Microtouch) Touch screens. |
| APPC (Advanced Program to Program Communications) programming to IBM's OS/2 Extended Edition Communication Manager Interface for the MCI telephone company. Allows Gupta SQL data base programs running on the PS/2 servers at customers' sites to exchange information with the SQL data base programs running on large Host computers at MCI. This "Integrated Network Management System" allows customers to control their voice and data communications networks as if they were their own private networks. network etal. | Wrote ASYNC, BISYNC and SNA/SDLC data communications, Terminal Emulators for large scale users which run on various micro computers. Networks implemented included Blue Cross of Massachusetts, NYSE 'big board', Mellon correspondent banks, Eastern Airlines reservations Interfaces to the IBM ARTIC card's MLI SECS communications co processor system. |
