30+ years in the high technology industry as a software developer, innovator, CTO, and startup co-founder. I have a special passion for languages, realtime and embedded systems, image processing and products that involve real life.We sold iParse in 2017 and I helped support the code and IP during the transition and for a couple of years. At iParse, I functioned as CTO and developer of the mobile deposit "check capture" framework, which used the mobile device's camera and video processing to automatically capture, deskew, and verify a check image before uploading to a backend. Several patents were secured, which increased the value of the company.At Basho, my focus was on extending and supporting the Multi Data Center replication module using Erlang OTP; this was (and is still) in use by large companies. That job built on my experience at RNA networks where I helped develop fault tolerant, highly available messaging systems using a combination of C and Erlang. Erlang is a natural platform for building highly available distributed systems that easily scale with multi-core hardware using an actor-based design pattern.Four years as technical lead of compilers, co-author of the programming model, and senior influencer in system architecture at Ambric, Inc, the company that created a Massively Parallel Processor Array that was scalable, self synchronizing, modular, and easy to program.Numerous product deliveries have imparted to me an understanding of the systems thinking needed to meet business and personal goals. I bring a balance of social and technical intelligence as my "best practice" to the team and my work.Specialties: Innovation - Creativity - Problem Solving - Systems Thinking - Depth - High Quality - Expert Programming - Modeling
