After selling my startup of Brandx, I continue to help grow the business and provide technical input when needed. Recently we completed a hardware refresh using modern chips and the Zephyr RTOS.

Over the course of a year we took a non-functional product with many design errors to a revenue generating company. The product is C1D1 intrinsically safe, and all modifications were re-certified by CSA. The work completed ranged from: PCB review and modifications to Firmware design and development.

created custom wifi router image using buildroot to test and utilize multipath-tcp as a way to seamlessly failover from hardline to cellular. We effectively bonded both two internet streams into a single end client service, vastly improving the quality of life for students using the routers.

After stepping down from CEO, I took on the role of ensuring data security. As CIO I'm responsible for all cyber security audits, both internal and external. This was a move to let someone with more business experience run the company, so I can concentrate on the core value in the tech and security services

A mesh of IoT and security. We provide security testing, and secure sensing through devices we like to call our ducks. Our core offering consists of a hardware/firmware/databank created with "offline" use in mind. The platform developed provides end to end encrypted messages, optimised for <100Byte messages.

A trial role to help increase awareness into cyber security, and provide a research avenue to the problems business are starting to face. Starting from a belief of "through visibility comes security" - I hope to bring more eyes to the problem of information security... and teach them the tools to test it.

I lead a small team of students in building an embeded system for hosting VR services/games local to it's geography, all while still be connected to a cloud. My main responsibility was the backbone of the system and total system integration. It was a fun idea, integrating database, bluetooth beaconing and mesh wifi networking into a single board. It started as a way to have "real" wizard battles in a park.

All the R&D to run a 3D print cafe. Specializing in super custom printer development, and print networking/automation (So we can have more time to watch the printers :D )

I was responsible for finishing the firmware and manufacturing the circuits - in a garage - for a 3D printer. This was my 2nd startup I was involved with. This time however, I was an employee working under an irap grant. I learned a lot working with Rylan, especially with doing prototypes "on the cheap".

I was the dude who designed and soldered it all together. I also worked to create tools to help marketing and displays for business competitions. This was startup #1

- Built and automated networked test systems for DOCSIS equipment testing - Wrote Matlab and cross compiled to C for an embedded linux environment My favorite project was a little python terminal interface to a socket controlling a piece of equipment. It saved me hours of manual script writing to test ideas/updates.
