R Squared Innovations, LLC Parker, CO
Vice President of Technology 2014 to Current
The requirement to create a SaaS cloud based solution for a nationwide vending company required the use of both Agile and DevOps to create an AWS Cloud based solution. The challenge was to cut cost to a minimum for the creation of the systems as well as ongoing expense. In order to eliminate the cost of building a Data Center AWS (Amazon Web Services) was selected as opposed to a traditional premise-based data center. Beyond the cloud-based system custom IoT (Internet of Things) hardware had to be created. The completed project featuring the community version of ODOO ERP reduced the annual IT budget by fifty percent.
Custom IoT hardware for monitoring Vending Equipment in real time completely eliminating redundant service resulting in a fifty percent overall savings in labor and transportation cost.
Automated Routing System to place route service people at equipment as needed, reducing field headcount by twenty-five percent.
Cellular based Route Vehicle tracking system and custom IoT GSM tracking for fleet vehicles for automating Department of Transportation requirements eliminated two full-time positions.
Cognitive Science facial recognition sensor hardware created that determines age, gender, and emotional response ensuring proper product selection for demographic resulting in increased sales by thirty percent.
Implemented Agile and designed applications around Micro Services resulting in reduced development time. Eagle Eye UAS Parker, Colorado 2014-2015
President
Based on the burgeoning Drone industry the requirement was proof of concept of an autonomous data gathering UAS
(Drone). A custom flight controller was designed based on the industry standard open source APM. The goal of the project was to prove that an autonomous Drone could be created that could fly a mission, use photogrammetry, gather data, and return to point of origin. Data gathered during the mission then transmitted to Cloud Servers hosted on AWS EC2 servers.
Custom flight controller design based on industry standard APM (Auto-Pilot Module) for Drone resulting in reduced cost over custom controller design by 75%.
Utilized open source solutions for ground station software for configuration, autonomous flight, and data collection as well as Android for a zero cost to build the solution. National Entertainment Network, Broomfield, Colorado Vice President Information Technology 1999-2014
Company transitional names: American Coin/Sugarloaf -> Coinstar Entertainment-> National Entertainment Network A national Amusement Vending company originally hired me as a consultant to correct a failed one-million-dollar project. I assembled a team and we were able to deliver the replacement system in six months, based on the success of the project I joined the company. The Amusement Vending industry being a unique use case required custom software in conjunction with traditional ERP/MRP. The challenges were significant as we needed centralized systems for thirty- seven field offices across the United States, Mexico, and Japan for cost reduction. Manufacturing grew from the United States with toy manufacturing in China. We were basically doing what is now Cloud computing in 1999. We pioneered electronic smart device vending machine collection technology before the smartphone was even on the market using Palm Pilots.
