About The Chief Architect

Mr. Wayne L. Atchison is the creator, owner, and chief architect of The Snippet Engine.

Mr. Atchison is a senior software engineer having over 39 years of coding and software management experience. He is a certified ISO software process expert. Mr. Atchison has been involved in every aspect of the software industry, from being an assembly language coder to being a Software Architect, a Lead Programmer, a Chief Technical Consultant, a Quality Control Expert, and a Seminar Instructor.

Mr. Atchison has been the Technical Leader in many significant multi-million dollar projects. Most of the time he was the Technical Leader of projects defining the next level in the state-of-the-art. Many times Mr. Atchison has proven that he has provided the better technical solution. For example Mr. Atchison was:

•	A Primary Consultant producing the world's very first real-time interactive Meteorological Workstations, in Munich Germany 1981.
•	The Software Manager and the Technical Lead producing the world's very first real-time interactive Radiological Workstations, shown at RSNA 1983.
•	The Lead Consultant producing the world's very first interactive Cartographic Workstations, for NOAA 1984.
•	The first to program and commercially sell a Btree++ Database Library for 'C' programmers, 1985.
•	A Technical Lead producing the world's first PACS Medical Imaging Mass Storage fiber optic Star-Network, Siemens Chicago, shown at RSNA 1991.
•	The Technical Lead of numerous classified military reconnaissance and target recognition projects. These projects represented the state-of-the-art in the world wide technology arena.
•	The first to formally introduce and document the (at that time) radically different methodology of using an "Iterative Approach" to Software Development, 1989. In 1993 this methodology became the official methodology for Loral Western Development Labs, San Jose CA. Now nearly everyone is using an iterative-style approach to software development.
•	An officially registered "Certified Software Process Expert" in 1993.
