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).

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.
