Beyond the Resume

A few things I'm proud of

Five highlights from a life that started with a soldering iron in Lexington, South Carolina and somehow ended up in low Earth orbit.

1997 – 2007

Helped invent Wi-Fi

Worked on the first Wi-Fi chipset and built the world's first Wi-Fi access point. I was in the room when the name "Wi-Fi" was proposed and voted on.

2012 – 2015

Invented the world's smallest, cheapest 3D printer

LCD-gated UV resin technology — my invention, still in use today by millions of makers. Hardware as accessible as software.

2022 – 2023

Helped build the Space Force SDA T0/T1/T2 Ground Control System

Hypersonic missile tracking constellation. Ground software that talks to satellites that talk to history.

2020 – 2021

Wrote the qualification software for the F-35 ICP supercomputer

Stealth fighter, integrated core processor. Code that has to be right the first time, every time.

1993

WERA Lightweight Superbike Champion, Southeast Division

Plus a long string of first-place wins on an FZR400 and a Hawk 650. Knee on the ground at 125 mph teaches you something about commitment.

Key Differentiators

Rare combination of hands-on cloud architecture + AI/LLM expertise + aerospace domain knowledge
Actually migrated satellite ground systems to AWS GovCloud — not just designed, but executed with zero downtime
Built a production multi-agent AI orchestration platform from scratch (Verdict) — deep understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations
Two-time VP of Engineering — can lead teams, manage budgets, and interface with executives while still writing code
30+ years of compounding technical depth across semiconductors, wireless, mobile, aerospace, cloud, and AI
