Mike Percy’s Summary
Mr. Percy has nearly 20 years experience involving real-time embedded software design and development, and has served as the Lead Computer Scientist for SRC's Radar Division (Space and Surveillance Systems, Atlanta) since 1997. His responsibilities include providing technical oversight and mentoring to a team of software engineers and significant input into all phases of system development efforts with a focus on continually improving the software development process in the division. Mr. Percy has direct responsibilities as senior software systems engineer for several contracts held with the U.S. government as well as commercial customers, including software systems requirement analysis, design, implementation, and integration of software subsystems; overall system engineering; reverse-engineering of existing systems; evaluation of off-the-shelf hardware and software suitable for developing new systems; and extensive documentation. Additional research and development efforts involve extensive system analysis, modeling, and statistical characterization of system performance to determine potential system enhancements. He was the principal architect of SRC's Adaptable Radar Environment Simulator (ARES) software as well as NGI’s PerformaceDNA product line.

Computer Scientist
Scientific Research Corp
(Privately Held; 501-1000 employees; Defense & Space industry)
January 1993 — Present (16 years 11 months)
I have served as the Lead Computer Scientist for SRC's Radar Division (Space and Surveillance Systems, Atlanta) since 1997. I was the principal architect and developer of the software for:
Harvest Shield/Harvest Spear—a scalable VHF/UHF COMINT & Electronic Attack system
ARES—an adaptable radar environment simulator, which provides an extremely high-fidelity, hardware-in-the-loop simulation. Thirteen different adaptions have been developed and delivered.
NAVSPACECOM—two Naval Space Command Space Surveillance System modernization efforts
TES—a real-time airborne radar threat detector

Chief Computer Scientist
Network Genomics, Inc.
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Networking industry)
October 2000 — January 2003 (2 years 4 months)
Was one of the founding employees of a network instrumentation company, performed a wide variety of duties from product design to marketing. I was the principal architect of the software for NGI’s PerformaceDNA product line, whichconsisted of a framework of real-time passive network monitoring, analysis and data correlation tools designed to dramatically reduce the time required to find and resolve application performance problems and security anomalies. The system as developed provided visibility into application performance across network infrastructures from end-to-end, through firewalls and network address translation.
