Professional Biographies

Jose Esteban Lugo

The bulk of my expertise lies in the software side of computer engineering. The vast majority of any work I've done is software based. The core of my education has gone into this area.

Any real wrok I have preformed has been freelance, and mostly related with web desig.

I do possess some experience in hardware design, particualrly using cadence. I have participated in designing 2 circuits for class using this software. The first was a circuit designed to tally gymnastic's scores. The second a digital to analog converter.

Software side I've worked mostly with Java, C, C#, SQL, HTMl. I have dabbled in a signifcant number of others but very lightly. Most projects for class have been java based, but I have also participated in the design of a data base system, a sew web designs, and programing a microprocessor in C, reading and displaying its output in C#. I am also quite proficient with image processing software (mostly photoshop).

Juan M. Diaz

In general my abilities are in software design and programming, graphic user interface design, databases, and web programming.

I worked as a Coop in Medtronic MPROC, as a software developer. My tasks were design, write code and test of applications used to improve production and avoid human errors on the productions lines. The majority of the developed applications were designed to interface with a barcode scanner and/or a matrix reader. As part of my work I prepared all the documentation related with the developed applications that are required by external agencies, like the FDA.

I work all the related with graphical art, artistic design, web design, photo editing and digital drawing. Also I have knowledge in 3d design and animation software like Maya and 3DS Max and photo editing software like Photoshop, Image Ready, Corel Painter, etc. I also have knowledge in video authoring and editing software like Adobe Premier, Audition, After Effects, Power Director, etc.

I have worked in web page design with languages like PHP, ASP.net, HTML, XML, flash, SQL, and with databases in MySQL and Microsoft software for ASP.net and C#. I have knowledge in Dreamweaver, Visual Studio Web development, RapidPHP, FrontPage, Golive, Microsoft Web Expression.

Some class projects that I had developed are a Waiting list Web application for the REA framework of the UPRM portal, A Virtual Book Store , a Digital to analog converter, a design of a Microprocessor in software (JAVA) and LogicWorks.
I know to program in the following programming languages: C, Java, C#, Visual Basic 6, VB.net, HTML, PHP and JavaScript.

Josue Matias

I study Computer Engineering at the UPR of Mayagüez my specialization is in software. In college I took several courses which have helped me learn several of things I know today. I've worked on several projects as part of a group or alone. These projects have helped me to get familiar with various programming languages. The programming languages with which I am most familiar are C #, Java and VB6, but it’s not hard for me to learn or use others.

Last year I did my COOP with Medtronic where I worked as a software developer. As part of my job I mostly worked with three different projects, one in VB6 and two in C #. In these projects I also used languages like SQL and XML. My job there also included tasks such as meetings with customers, creating documents, coding, testing, among others. Also as part of my COOP I had the opportunity to take trainings on PM and Oracle. I am currently still working part-time for Medtronic.

First Reunion

Date: January 20, 2009 3:00-4:30
Asistence: Josue, Juan, Jose, Jecximara

Topics Discussed:


Project: Informative System for Conventions Center

Team Name: J4 Innovations


Team Members:

Josué Matías
Juan M. Díaz
José Lugo
Jecximara Alers




Objective:


To create a system that maintains the users of a convention center; visitors, event planners, and convention center administrators; informed of the status of the convention center halls (or rooms), their availability and activities that will be performed in each hall. With the development of our project we will be avoiding the inconveniences that usually happen when an user enters a hall its already occupied or that the activities that they are giving isn’t the one he or she wishes to go to, and it’s hard for the persons assisting to a convention center to find the correct hall their activity is in. The convention center has many halls and its hard for visitors to know where the activity that they want to assist is in. Our project will help maintain the convention center more organized and make their visitors more satisfied with the organization of the facilities that they are visiting. Saving the visitors; time, effort and stress.


Scope:

Our project will be a prototype compounded by software and hardware parts. The hardware part will consist of one or more LCD displays that will be installed in the entrance of each hall of the convention center. The LCD will indicate the activity that will be given on each hall, information about it and the availability of the hall. The content of these screens will be manageable from software that will be in a computer on the central office of the convention center. This software will be used to manage and enter the data and send it to the corresponding LCD.
