Trying to help create a better world.Founder of companies to commercialize intellectual property technologies developed during my tenure in The University of Texas at Austin. - The Whisper Company: develops Private & Secure Communication Systems. Our flagship product, invisible-ink™, [i-i]™, uses patent-pending Persistent User authentication for "Privacy you can see!" (continuous authentication using biometrics) and patented Chaotic Hybrid Encryption for "Security you can trust!" (quantum-resistant encrypted communication), to enable private and secure communication between IoT devices.- Machine Essence Corporation: focus on asset health diagnostics & prognosis based on sciences that include observability of nonlinear dynamic systems, communication information, degradation entropy generation, applied intelligence.- SPAT (Salute, Physique, Aesthetica, Technologie, LLC): focuses in Applied Intelligence Tools for Machine Learning and Advanced Mechatronic Devices & Systems Agile Design. I have degrees in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering (with minors in Oil & Gas, Polymers, and Electrical & Electronics Engineering). Programming since 1975.I worked in academia from 1979 to 2018. Developed the first Mechatronics class in the US (1993). Have (or have filed application) patents in recurrent neural networks, mixed-signal processor, robust diagnostics, extreme devices, chaotic hybrid encryption, and persistent user authentication.I have experience in Applied Intelligence (Artificial Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Evolutionary Systems, Genetic Algorithms, Artificial Immune Systems, Mobile Intelligent Agents Systems, etc.); Dynamic Systems & Control (BondGraph Modeling, Robust-Optimal Adaptive Control, Sliding Mode Control, Observability of Nonlinear Systems, etc.); Mechatronics (Embedded Systems Agile Development, Mixed-Signal Resilient Devices, Hybrid eXtreme Processors, Chaotic Hybrid Encryption for Secure Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical Security, Distributed Ledger Technologies, etc.); and System's Asset Health Assessment (System Health monitoring, Fault Diagnostics & Prognosis of Industrial Equipment, Confidence Estimation for Risk Analysis, etc.)On a personal note, I was born in Venezuela from Spaniard, Portuguese, and Celtic ancestry. Love sailing, playing dominoes, and soccer, which I was a coach for 14 years. Founding president of AVA (Austin Venezuelan Association – Asociación de Venezolanos de Austin).
