Reading a lot of stuff from arXive.org Pondering LLMs, AI, Agents, Copilots, RAG, Memory, and automated software development.

Software Hardware Systems is a DBA for Itrel MonroeSystems are so much more than software. They consist of people, hardware, processes, ideals, and software. However, often it is the software that integrates the constituent parts into a cohesive whole, the system.My passion is architecting, designing, developing, and deploying, systems.

I design and develop high technology machine control turnkey systems.Motion controlPan/Tilt/Zoom camera controlMachine visionCamera modeling and calibrationEngineering prototyping and proof of conceptCharacterization Burn InTestManufacturingSoftware applications for internal and OEM engineeringSoftware applications for OEM productionI have years of experience designing high technology machine control turnkey systems. Most recently I've designed and built systems for use in the MEOMS (Micro Electrical Optical Mechanical Systems) and LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) manufacturing.I have designed systems starting from an idea and lead the process all the way through world wide deployment. I know what works well and what to avoid. I know what makes systems maintainable and how to avoid problems that interfere with production ramps, volume production, and the introduction of new products. I am an expert at integrating complex hardware and software systems.Give me a call or e-mail and let me help you make your technology operations more adaptable to product line changes and less espensive to maintain at the same time.* Requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation* Preliminary design and documentation* Detailed design and documentation* Software systems and subsystems construction* Software hardware integration* System deployment and documentation* Operator and Equipment Engineering training* System support

I wrapped up work at RRS as the lead engineer on an IOT project. I coordinated technical requirements and reviews with an contract development team. I then transitioned in to the IT department and lead IOT agent software development that was rolled out to 10,000+ assets in the field.Work at Revolution brought me back in the .NET full stack environment, software/hardware integration, and cloud technology too! This is the kind of work I love. I write software and the machine makes noise and does stuff. Cash note recyclers, coin sorters, and coin dispensers make a LOT of noise. It's great :).

Responsible for all software engineering decision making for the company. Interviewed and hired software developers. Worked with product owners to understand business priorities and maintain software engineering work item backlog, prioritized work items and assigned to software development teams, communicated status with corporate management.Participated in companywide Quality Management System review resulting in successfully passing EN ISO 13485:2012 medical device manufacturer Audit.Directed development of prototype application to be production ready and successfully deployed into multiple operating rooms

Senior Software Engineer leading Application Lifecycle Management of Windows based Line of Business Applications at Perkins Healthcare Technologies.Perkins specializes in medical system integration of operating rooms and interventional settings. We use Touch centric user interface to coordinate video integration and other hardware subsystems.I am currently directing development of a cloud based business intelligence solution. A Windows Azure based suite of projects collect event data from Perkins applications, hardware subsystems, and workflow. The event data published to the cloud is are then analyzed using Microsoft Power query, Power Pivot, and Power View. The cloud services also provide notification of critical events such as room readiness and procedure status. This provides hospital administration and Perkins with actionable information regarding utilization, scheduling, and system status.

Working with Syndiant has been one of the most rewarding/exciting/fun years of my engineering career. It is a truely exceptional company. I highly recommend the company and the people working there.While there I added significant functionality to several existing projects and developed a major new engineering tool for Syndiant customers to use in their manufacturing environment. * Production environment customer tools for projector system manufacturing/assemblyAardvark I2C/SPI controllerKonica Minolta CA210 Optical Color MeterSpyder3 Color MeterThe system measures illuminator light source for each projection subassembly and then optimizes the Red Green and Blue display mode color duty cycles to obtain a customer specified white point. It then optimizes memory layout to minimize size requirements. After programming the display modes into flash memory the actual projection white point is measured and made logged for the customer's Manufacturing Information System.* Optical Characterization SystemZaber Motion Control,Konica Minolta CA210 Optical Color MeterNational Instruments USB based high speed A/DAardvark I2C/SPI controllerSyndiant VueG8 LCOS panels and video driver electronics* Internal engineering tools for developing and analyzing display mode configurations for Syndiant VueG8 technology LCOS panels and display controllers.Projection system white point measurementIlluminator color coordinate measurementSPI flash memory erase/write/read operationsI2C control and configuration for engineering interaction with projection systems

I was retained by Telemed Solutions to develop camera control software for Sony EVI-D70 Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras.The TELEMED SOLUTIONS product features an audio-visual conferencing system with VOIP (voice over IP), designed specifically to enable one or more physicians/specialists to examine patients in the hospital remotely from their offices or homes. For patients, this provides rapid access to expert medical care.The project consisted of two major efforts.1) Writing the VISCA communications infrastructure for communicating with the camera network, Pan/Tilt unit, and Camera itself.2) Creating a camera model enabling the Doctor to interact with the video display during the examination. This involved research into various camera models and implementing a custom solution.
