Inventing Technologies for the Hospitality and Fin Tech industry

Austin, Texas, Us

Responsible for daily operation of this Think Tank to dream and invent new technology. Envisioned, designed, developed and implemented a new approach to technology that allows for the creation of toolkits and tools using a schematic. Tools are virtualized and are served up as a schematic where then the engine reads the schematic and assembles the widgets accordingly. This allows for Ultra fast development of highly usable systems. Designed and Implemented a Virtualized Data Architecture that allows any MySQL or SQL Server database to be virtualized into a jsonRest interface. All interfaces are controlled through Role based security. Also provides complete audit trails of all activities for SAS 70 compliance.

A New Dawn for the Hotel Industry awaits. Stay Tuned for more to come

I took a research position at Duke University working for the Provost to design and develop a new set of Admission systems for students and faculty. During my tenure at Duke, Sun Microsystems requested that I begin hosting presentations on their behalf at various conferences.

I spent 6 months assisting with this process in exchange for them making a donation to Duke.
