Wireless
Occurrence Tracking System, This
project developed a field data collection system used by OCTA personnel to
upload and edit accident data and photos from the field. The client software
was deployed on laptops using wireless ‘air cards’. The system was designed
to emulate the current system available only in the office, and to integrate with
the current occurrence database system. The client application is designed or
field use and is tolerant of intermittent and limited connectivity. Deliverables:
Java Applets for field data and image collection, J2EE data services layer,
integration with client databases. Technologies:
Java: Swing, JAI, JDBC, J2EE, SSL, Tomcat, Oracle |

Project Snow Pilot , Gallatin Avalanche Center 2002 and on going. Version 8 released Dec 2010 Snow
Pilot is a software system for collection, analysis and archiving data
related to snow science and avalanche mitigation. Snow Pilot is currently the most widely
used snow science software system and is used world wide by avalanche
forecaster, snow scientists, ski patrols and others who collect snow and
avalanche data. I have been involved with this project since its inception,
and I am the technical team for this project. I write all the code for the
various platforms, host the application server, database and website for the
project. I work with the snow scientists at the The
Snow Pilot software has three major components, a Palm PDA application for
field use, a desktop application for office use, and a database/ data
services layer. The Palm application is used to collect data in the field.
When a user synchs their PDA to their PC, the data is transferred to the
user’s PC. The user may then use the desktop application to further edit or
add data. The desktop application also allows the user to graph their data
and save or extract their data into different formats. The desktop
application also synchs the users data with the central database, and allows
user to search and read available data. Deliverables:
Snow Pilot Palm OS Application, PC Pilot desktop application for PC/Mac, Snow
Pilot J2EE data services layer, MySQL database,
data search engine, Windows Installer. Technlogies: Java, Swing, Awt,
J2ME, Waba, Jump compiler, J2EE, JDBC, Tomcat, Apache, MySQL. See:
