I helped build the software infrastructure for the SkyTran Operations Center in the C3 (Command, Control and Communications) group. This consists of a hierarchical set of controllers that manage vehicle routing on an elevated, magnetically-levitated, autonomous PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) system. I designed and half-implemented a high-fidelity vehicle.

I helped design and develop a cloud-based security measurement product for manufacturers’ connected devices and the Internet of Things. I wrote device profilers for multiple operating systems, cloud ingestion code and 100+ security checkers that analyze device profiles to produce design, deployment and activity vulnerability measurements. I was also.

I provide design leadership and manage projects involving Intera’s core interfaces, infrastructure and tools. I also advise and participate in setting product direction and development goals. I continue to maintain and expand Rethink’s IO and Motor Controller infrastructure

I helped make the transition of Rethink's embedded, motor control, configuration and IO software to Intera 5. I implemented support for the ClickSmart and made other expansions to Rethink’s IO device support.

I architected and implemented significant components of Rethink’s core robot software, including the Motor Controller infrastructure, the I/O signaling and device frameworks, the dynamic robot kinematic model, the robot configuration system and the end effector interface. I am a co-inventor of the ClickSmart, a removable end-effector base that provides.

As the Lead Dental Engineer at Sensable I worked as the dental systems integrator. In that role I designed and implemented a suite of applications that operate OEM dental scanners, I maintained and extended a dental Case Management application, I implemented applications to collect and manage job files at fabrication centers, and I designed and supervised.

Implemented a GUI for ingesting broadcast video into a SAN. Implemented WMP and iTunes plugins to support a wireless remote control. Ported and optimized a font-rendering algorithm to an FPGA. Wrote an Eclipse GUI for a security metrics application.

I specified, designed and implemented the software portion of a car radio that works like a TiVo. It uses a song recognition algorithm to segment continuously recorded audio into navigable segments.

Specified and designed an implementation of Kada’s J2ME AWT atop PegX on a Blackfin platform. Led a team to transform an incomplete Personal Java AWT implementation into a shipped J2ME AWT for the Palm Pilot.

Worked on the Pinnacle TranSport, for disk-based live recording of professional sports events, and the Avid Xdeck, which records broadcast-quality video over Avid’s proprietary media SAN.

Architect/Implementor of a flexible computer sewn into a wallet, with integral smartcard reader. The wallet was a secure, XML-based multi-application PDA featuring system-wide search.
