Afan Ottenheimer’s Experience

• Founder

  PHPDF

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

  January 2002 — Present (6 years 10 months)

• Founder and CEO

  JEO.NET

  (Computer & Network Security industry)

  January 1995 — Present (13 years 10 months)

• Instructor

  Learning Tree International

  (Public Company; LTRE; Information Technology and Services industry)

  January 2000 — June 2006 (6 years 6 months)

  I teach courses on Apache, PHP and MySQL.

• Contractor

  Tibial Plafond Research Group

  (Educational Institution; Medical Devices industry)

  January 1999 — January 2004 (5 years 1 month)

  Was asked to create a project that would integrate patient data from 5 research hospitals' orthopaedic departments to increase statistical numbers for 5 year research project. Implemented a secure, web-based database driven application that allowed each hospital to see their patient data in color-coded format. Patient forms were de-identified and put online and encoded to allow researchers to see which forms were filled in properly and on time. Program implemented randomization of study groups across all 5 hospitals. End result was that it made it possible to do decent statistics on a rare treatment in a cost-effective and secure manner.

• Researcher

  Arecibo Radio Telescope

  (Educational Institution; Defense & Space industry)

  January 1991 — March 1992 (1 year 3 months)

  Measured Pulsar Dispersion Measures (DM) using Millisecond Dual-frequency Oberservations at Arecibo Radio Telescope. Discovered that you could get DMs in a few seconds using milisaecond measurements that are consisent with traditional methods that take minutes to hours.
  
  Worked with Dan Stinebring at Oberlin College as part of senior honors thesis. Work involved setting up Arecibo radio measurements, recording of data, and computational analysis of data via FFT.

• Intern

  BFGoodrich Research & Development Center

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; GR; Computer Software industry)

  January 1991 — January 1991 (1 month)

  I did molecular modelling on a Stardent Titan Supercomputer to construct various PVC molecules, and determine their stability and interactive properties under various conditions.

• Research Assistant

  Sorenson Labs: Kansas State University

  (Educational Institution; Chemicals industry)

  June 1990 — August 1990 (3 months)

  I worked with Dr. Sorenson to investigate the basic properties of Manganese-Iron-Oxide particles using an aerosol generator by making the particles and then analyzing the products using an X-ray diffractometer and electron microscope. Developed a new way of making macroscopic particles via the Leidenfrost effect and compared the results to those we were researching at the molecular scale.

• Intern

  Brookhaven National Labs

  (Government Agency; Defense & Space industry)

  January 1990 — January 1990 (1 month)

  Worked with Alan Carrol at BNL on high-energy proton-proton accelerator experiment. Measured voltage/tension failure parameters of multi-wire proportional chamber and wrote software to calculate electron drift velocities in the chamber. Helped to develop innovative methods of constructing the multi-wire propotional chamber.

• Programmer

  Oberlin College

  (Educational Institution; Computer Software industry)

  January 1989 — January 1989 (1 month)

  Wrote program to simulate interaction and calculate cross sections in a nuclear accelerator for Lithium/Helium impacts.
