I’m Edward Stanley, a software engineer with over forty years of experience designing and delivering software across Windows and Linux platforms. My work spans back-end systems and UI development, performance prediction tools, and geometry processing. I’ve written functional specifications, technical documents, and provided hands-on technical support, thriving both as an independent contributor and as part of a collaborative team. I earned an SB in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from MIT in 1986. Since 1987 I’ve been with AeroHydro Inc., developing CAD software that handles NURBS and other parametric geometry, integrating with SolidWorks and SpaceClaim via API, and linking geometry to hydrodynamic analysis programs like WAMIT. My broad experience also includes part-time naval architecture work and Navy contracts, plus a track record of quickly learning new languages and tools to meet project needs.

Software Engineer at AeroHydro Inc.
May 1, 1987 - Present
Sole developer on several applications and collaborated with a team on others. Worked on computer aided design software using freeform surfaces for marine, industrial, and clothing design. Focused on both geometry kernel and user interface, handling NURBS, parametric curves and surfaces, triangular meshes, and trimmed surfaces. Maintained AeroHydro’s hydrostatics application since 1988. Created a SolidWorks add-in to transfer surface geometry from AeroHydro’s software to SolidWorks and an add-in to SpaceClaim for transferring surface geometry via API. Maintained a link between AeroHydro’s geometry kernel and WAMIT for use of MultiSurf models in WAMIT. Responsibilities included designing and implementing new features, fixing bugs, releasing builds, and providing customer support; performed consulting and produced software documentation.
