Industry

I currently consult on technology projects through Khaki Software LLC, a company I have owned since 2003. Contact me for more information.

I have also had the opportunity to work with many talented individuals at several innovative companies.

Sonum Technologies, Inc.
Director of Research     June 2005 - May 2006
Director of Software Engineering    Nov 2002 - June 2005
Sonum Technologies was a venture-backed firm that is pioneering the development of natural language processing and speech interfaces. My role at Sonum Technologies was to design and build core natural language processing systems and sample applications to showcase the technology. On the technical side, I led the development effort and served as chief architect for all system design decisions. On the business side, I was a key contributor in the preparation of the corporate business plan, patent applications, marketing materials, and sales presentations. Sonum's technology holdings were sold to Humanity Interactive in 2007.

As a software developer, I assisted and led portions of the development, testing, and maintenance of these solutions.
