About Me
Mfadoul has been an active Wikipedia editor since July 17, 2006.

Professional History
I began my professional career during my undergraduate years. I worked for a year and a half as a civil engineering intern at Dewberry & Davis (now called "Dewberry"), in Fairfax, VA. Later, I worked as an intern for the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Navigation Data Center, at Fort Belvoir, helping them develop a GIS for analysis of their geographic data.

In 1993, after receiving a B.S. in Urban Systems Engineering from George Mason University, I found an opportunity to leverage my expertise in GIS and software development. I worked as a contractor at the Topographic Engineering Center, another organization within the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Here, I developed software to streamline terrain database generation for visual and constructive simulations.

In 1995, I worked as a field engineer for Coryphaeus Software (renamed Centric Software), of Los Gatos, CA. This company developed and sold a suite of software tools for visual simulation. Though I changed hats from end-user to vendor, I was able to apply my expertise to a wide variety of customers.

In 1997, I founded My3D, LLC--a company focused on the design and integration of visual simulation capabilities in both commercial and government applications.

Wiki Goals
My goal is to create and enhance articles, including subjects related to GIS, 3D Graphics, and Software Development.
