As a programmer, Mr. Santoroski is providing technical assistance to the Computer Science Branch of the Lister Hill Center AI/Rheum project. He is currently assigned to resolve bugs and undesirable design restrictions to the CTX software as they are identified. As part of this task he develops, implements, debugs, tests, integrates, and documents changes as they are made to the system.
