Train Approaching Warning System (TAWS) project development, an autonomous signalling solution aiming at improving safety by generating light and sound alarm at critical locations of a rail network to announce a train approaching. Hardware conception, Java programming, Tests planning and certification for train remote surveillance. New clean power supplies for trains and rails, electromagnetic floating safety certification for High-Speed rails.

Project development, certification and testing for missiles program. Configuration Management and testing of electric and electronic systems for missiles launchers and laser detection from fixed and moving targets. Night and day-light optics, high precision calculations, costumer services and maintenance program.

Project development, Configuration Management and testing of electric and electronic systems to aircraft simulators such as Airbus and Boeing. Design of wiring and software testing for automatic systems to B737, B767, A320 and A330. Power distribution, Technical drawings conception, panels and simulation trouble shooting.

Development and monitoring of modifications made during the airplane’s lifetime. Recording and monitoring of changes and update of database. Construction and re-construction of modifications for A320 and A330. Software: Airbus iAMT, SB COMP, ICC. Main systems: Auto-detection, Navigation, Instruments and Cockpit.

Directly hangars work and improvements to the site. Aircraft instrumentation and inner workings of them. Aircraft operated: Mirage F1 E1, Helicopter SA 341 Gazelle, Mystère 20, Mirage 4, Alpha Jet, Helicopter Puma SA330 – Fouga Magister, Morane saunier Paris, Turbo machines SNECMA M53, Larzac.

Responsible for developing an electronic heart watcher that is implanted in patients with heart diseases. This device has the function to read an extremely detailed behaviour of the heart, anticipating possible emergencies and giving the patient a special medical monitoring. Main role was to develop the electronic reading, translate correctly graphics, give to the doctor a patient feedback and be on call 24 hours a day to meet any emergency.

Development of wiring systems for hospitals and malls. Led of a team of three interns and cooperate work with hydraulic engineers. We had to study the environment and physical configuration to give the customer the best solution at low cost. Usually this type of work involves public agencies of government.

Development of videoconference network. The objective was to respond to customer needs and plan the best videoconferencing system to meet your needs. Knowledge of the customer, development of a solution plan and implementation of the planned system.
