After more than 3 decades building commercial software solutions, I know what it takes to execute on a strategic vision. I lead teams with my sleeves already rolled up. I can see how to take the best of what a company has in intellectual property and talent, lead cross functional teams, innovate and invent new technologies where required, and build products and solutions that meet company and market needs. I also have the rare ability of being able to “talk-technology” to every level inside and outside a company. Over the last 18 years in the Hydrographic Industry, I have led the development of 10 commercial software products and solutions. These processing and visualization products are the epitome of “big-data processing” where real-time sensors can generate time series information at rates exceeding 1GB per minute. My current assignment has me innovating solutions using AIML to automatically recognize targets in marine sensor imagery. One of the challenges to using AIML in any industry is the access and training requirements of personnel using the technology. I have innovated solutions and workflows using AIML at the core, wrapped in familiar application concepts and workflows. These workflows allow the user to easily view, manipulate and annotate their data to train Deep Learning models, then use these models to automatically detect targets in operational environments and post-processing environments locally, or in the Cloud. I have been at the VP and C level in the commercial software industry for almost 3 decades and have had the privilege to be part of some of the most innovative companies, both public and private.Tags for all the bots:Delivering product, on time and on budget, leader, entrepreneur, founder, mentor, author, inventor, innovator, designer, software products, 2D, 3D, 4D, visualization, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI Machine Learning (AIML), Deep Learning, big-data, hydrographic software, bathymetry, sides can, passive acoustics, backscatter, water column, seismic, C, C++, C-Sharp, .NET, Python, TensorFlow, SQL, geodetics, cross platform development, data visualization, virtual reality, immersive experience, user experience, mission critical systems, real-time systems, management, manage up, have fun.
