User:Nanoatzin

In Aztec mythology, Nanoatzin sacrificed himself in fire so that he would shine upon the earth as the sun god during the fifth and final incarnation of our universe. Other legends involving Nanoatzin include the creation of modern foods, like potatoes and corn, as well as the images we see on the face of the moon.

These pre-Columbian legends have been passed by written and oral transition among many mestizo and native populations in the Americas. The literal translation implies blistered skin. The spelling, details, and pronunciation vary by culture and language.

Most native wealth and written documents describing American mythology were destroyed by Europeans within a few centuries after the arrival of Columbus. Oral traditions, knowledge of meteorology, and astronomy were eliminated by boarding schools intended to prohibit the propagation of non-Christian native oral traditions during the past few centuries. Lost knowledge includes the cycle of the Niño-Southern Oscillation that is being rediscovered through modern technology and economic trends.

Degrees

• Bachelors of Science, Electrical Engineering
• Masters of Science, Information Technology

Experience

• Bilingual tutoring in math, physics and chemistry, 4 years
• Radar engineering and power systems, 15 years
• Commercial computing hardware and operating systems, 15 years
• Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Oracle administration, 10 years

My working experience began with social work, tutoring math through differential calculus, physics through optics, and chemistry through qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Radar engineering experience includes identification of defects involving [circuits] that cause radar power supply failures, identification of embedded operating system defects that cause radar power supply failures, and correction of other failure modes. This experience includes pulse-Doppler radar, continuous wave radar, high-power RF communication, phased array radar, moving target indication, and large electric machinery.

Computing experience includes tightly coupled cluster systems, loosely coupled cluster systems, and embedded computing hardware. Development and quality assurance work involved machine language, object code, circuit analysis, C, C++, Ada, Java, UML, and other environments. Computer architectures include Z80, Z8000, 68020, mil-std-1750, PA-RISC, PowerPC, and SPARC.

Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Oracle experience includes tier 3 support involving design review, upgrade planning, scripting, code review, and related responsibilities.
