Leslie Haggerty, Principal

Expert in software engineering, Internet, and web commerce

Leslie Haggerty, B.S. has over 15 years of experience in systems and software engineering. She received the B.S. degree in engineering from the University of Redlands, Redlands, CA in 1986.

Since August of 1994, she has been a consulting engineer with H&A Systems Engineering, where she leads the software, Internet, and web commerce portion of the business. She is an expert in the use of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools for specifying system and software requirements and architecture. For a multiple-unit parallel solid-state power conversion system, she used the Hatley-Pirbhai Methodology (HPM) to specify requirements. She has taught two courses of the structured analysis portion of HPM. For Internet and Web commerce clients, she has authored over fifty custom web scripts and cgi programs including: shopping carts, secure credit card payment systems, online courseware, search engines, bulletin boards, random message generators, daily commentary display, submission systems, survey and comment collection, and login systems.

From 1986 to 1994, she was a member of the technical staff and systems engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company, El Segundo, CA. While at Hughes, she led CASE tool implementation on one program and used HPM on two programs to define system requirements and develop system architectures. She taught the "Structured Systems Development," course developed by Imtiaz Pirbhai, for the Hughes technical education program and improved the course materials. She developed architecture models for proposed EW system configurations. She also tested and verified electronically scanned antenna (ESA) subsystems and has two approved ESA invention disclosures.

Mrs. Haggerty is a senior member of IEEE and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She is a licensed electrical engineer in the state of California. She has published a joint paper on a case study of supporting systems engineering with CASE methods and tools.
