Former Chairman and President, Mr. Guilfoyle founded OptiComp in 1987 and focused the Company's optoelectronic technology towards digital high-speed switching and data processing applications. In addition to designing and fabricating a second generation, 32-bit digital optoelectronic computer (DOC II) which was completed in 1994, Mr. Guilfoyle also developed a High Performance Optoelectronic Computing (HPOC) module system architecture utilizing global (N4), free space optical interconnects. He was been the Principal Investigator on the Massively Parallel Optical Interconnect (MPOI) program from 2000-2010, with programs from the Air Force Research Laboratory, DARPA, MDA, Boeing and the Naval Air Systems Command. OptiComp was awarded over $50M in contracts during this time and was ultimately sold in an asset sale to a new company, Zephyr Photonics formed to purchase OptiComp, in early 2011. At the time of the sale OptiComp employed 55 engineers, scientists, and researchers. The new company intends to commercialize Mr. Guilfoyle's products e.g., coarse WDM multimode fiber optic transceivers for 40 and 120 Gbps ethernet links. In 1996, 1998 and 2000, OptiComp won the Roland Tibbetts Award, SBIR model of excellence, for its ability to foster technology development and transfer it into the marketplace. In addition, Mr. Guilfoyle was awarded the LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Award for 1994/1995.

Supercomputer company based on optical computer. Saxpy - solve a*x+y.Saxpy was a venture capital start up based in Silicon Valley. It was originally formed in 1981 as a consulting firm, however it designed what was known as the Systolic Acousto Optic Binary Computer (SAOBIC). Gaining rapid popularity, this device ultimately attracted over $15M in venture capital funding, and the company grew to over 100 persons. Mr. Guilfoyle was the founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO until he left 1985 due to operational and technical differences in opinion with the venture capitalists. He learned the lesson that a big piece of a small pie is better than a small piece of a big pie.
