David Maust's Email & Phone

Mr. Maust comes to Tall Umbrella from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where his expert skills of project management, innovation, software and telecommunications systems were honed to world-class levels. At JPL, David conducted or served as a primary contributor in many projects including the WebTFP, which was an effort to make a web interface for a JPL tool known as the "Telecommunications Forecaster Predictor." He generalized the work in WebTFP to allow other Matlab applications to be accessible on the web within the same framework. Included in these are the Telecommunications Orbital Analysis Simulation Tool (TOAST), and Mars Relay Network Planning Tool (MRNPT); he also integrated this tool for orbital trajectory integration. Also at JPL he worked on several projects within Project Constellation. With the Space Communications and Networking (SCaN) group and the Distributed Space Exploration Simulation (DSES) project he worked to get JPL onto the distributed simulation network and get JPL's Qualnet link analysis tool accessible from the other centers through HLA. He also assisted the Protocol Test Lab (PTL) and Distributed Simulation Integration Lab (DSIL) in observing and recording activity on the distributed simulation network. David has also been a speaker at numerous UNIX and Linux user group events. At the UNIX Users Association of Southern California (UUASC) he was invited to talk on a mail transfer agent, Postfix, Subversion, (a version control system) and then later on SpamAssassin. David is an expert or fully proficient in numerous programming languages including, C, C++, UNIX, Linux systems, Java, PERL, LISP, Python, Fortran, PHP, C#, and VB.NET, and has served as President of the local chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). David is a top graduate of Cal State Fullerton in Computer Science and Mathematics.
