Nov '03 - Radio Frequency Identification and Tracking

Wrote a program to collect data from USB RFID tag readers.  Adapted an RFID card reader for the purpose of tracking the movement of bees.  Constructed classes in Visual Basic to handle the operation of each RFID reader.  Programmed each instance of the class to be created at run-time and to run independently from each other.  Exploited multi-threading to maximize the performance of each reader. Integrated the 16 readers in a network and maintained their individual polling rate.  Developed a GUI to incorporate all previously written features.  Wrote a program to collect data from RFID tag and record it in a log file. Contact maintained with end users to make the software more user friendly and add in any changes and suggestion presented by the client.
