MEPS Real-Time Pharmacy Medical Cabinet
Led the program, and product management to bring a pharmacy tray device to market launch after 12 years of R&D.
MEPS Real-Time's pharmacy medical tray device improves the pre, and post-surgical workflow for large hospital systems where pharmacy technicians must fill, check, and account for every medication used in each procedure.
The system uses a combination of near field, Bluetooth, and optical technologies to scan every medication within the tray to easily, and quickly determine what was used, refilled, and documented in busy hospital workflows. Overall the system improves time for this previously highly manual process from 45 minutes per tray to less than 5 minutes. It also reduces the potential for errors in this process, saving money, and reducing hospital liability.
After 12 years of R&D, and onsite trials, product and program management were able to bring the product out of the research phase, and prepare it for enterprise channel sales.
FreedomVoice Hosted PBX Platform
Developed the concept, requirements, product plan, and launch of the flagship Hosted PBX platform.
FreedomVoice's virtual telecommunications system incorporates legacy PBX systems with modern telephony technologies.

The system was developed from the ground up, integrating telecommunication standards with the latest technologies available. Product management drove the product every step through the process from concept through development to launch, and subsequent iterations.
FreedomVoice's Hosted PBX solution was an instrumental product in attracting GoDaddy which eventually purchased the company.
Honeywell QuietPro Intelligent Hearing system
Spearheaded a hearing protection product leveraging military-grade wireless “bionic ear” dynamic noise reduction.
Honeywell's QuietPro product brings to heavy industry and military personnel the ability to hear, and communicate with team members amid extremely loud, and hearing damaging environments.
Borrowing from technology now used by high-level military strike teams, the system allows users to speak in natural tones even as ordinance, and heavy machinery are sounding off in the near vicinity. This unique system attenuates incoming sound, and prioritizes useful noises to protect personnel's ears without any lag or distortion. QuietPro is responsible for enabling seamless communication, and hearing protection despite extreme conditions.
Awarepoint Asset Tracking and Monitoring Solution
Managed the entire suite of software products for mesh network based real-time asset tracking, and monitoring for hospitals.

Aside from reducing equipment loss, safeguarding patients, and monitoring high-value medications, the system has been deployed to improve the nurse-patient-physician workflow through it's integrated near field communication protocol. All of these remove error, cost, and reduce the need for manual documentation in hospital systems where these have been seen as key areas for improvement.
The software behind the system constantly monitors and reports on each node in the system, sending that data to the cloud. The system provides reporting, and analytics so that hospital users can improve their workflows, and maximize focus on areas of greatest need or cost.

Kelly Slater Wave System
Led the team for Siemens' HMI control software, and operator panel designed for the world's largest man-made surfable wave sy
The Kelly Slater Wave System is the world's first full scale, barreling competition level wave. The system combines a 15 million gallon man-made wave facility with a one of a kind dual winching system to produce a dynamic barreling surfable wave.
The control system was designed to operate this high powered system using a combination of wired and wireless technologies while monitoring drives, controlling wave dynamics, and hydroelectric systems. This was achieved through a unique mix of mechanical, structural, embedded hardware, and software systems.
The KSWC system is now a part of the World Surf League's championship tour, and is currently making a bid to be a part of the 2020 Olympics.
