InterbinkInc
2001 -
Present
President,
CEO |
|
| Duties
include applied research
& development, engineering, management, and innovation. |
|
| Interbink
is a small startup
creating custom hardware and software applications which include but
are
not limited to security, medical research, and robotics
systems.
Current work includes innovative uses for Radio Frequency
Identification,
improved techniques for navigation and verification, and the creation
of
tools for the design and implementation of Auto-ID
based installations, with emphasis on invention and versatility. |

2000 -
2001
Research
Engineer at the
MIT Auto-ID Center http://Auto-ID.MIT.edu |
| ..... |
Auto-ID:
To
achieve their mission
"to merge the physical world with the information world," the MIT
Auto-ID
Center is developing
| ..... |
- the Electronic Product
Code (ePC): a standard defining unique numeric keys for identifying
physical
objects, |
|
- the Product Markup Language
(PML): a language for describing physical objects, and |
|
- the Object Naming Service
(ONS): a method for locating data associated with a particular
object, |
and
implementing demonstrations
of these techniques using existing Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID)
technology. |
..... |
|
The
ePC is intended to extend
and replace the UPC (bar codes) now found on most products, PML will
describe
those products, and the ONS (similar to the Internet's Domain Name
System)
will direct computer systems to the information associated with ePC
labeled
items. |
|
|
| Duties included
designing and building demonstrations of Auto-ID applications,
establishing
and managing the electronics development lab, purchasing materials,
instruments,
and technology for the lab, presenting demos, explaining the technology
and proposed applications to sponsors, and developing testbeds for the
research. |
| While creating
the demos, devised additional configurations for the technology,
discovered
mutations for the RFID equipment, invented innovative applications and
hardware, applied previously unnoticed effects, and researched
applicable
methods, implications, and techniques. |
| Also assisted
with system administration and software development. |

Chairman
|
|
|
|
| +
A position which will allow me to build robots, teleoperators, or other
computationally-controlled moving devices. |
| +
A tangible result
from my efforts -- prefer building hardware to writing software. |
| +
Responsibilities
which would make good use of my broad range of knowledge and skills. |
| +
An opportunity to
innovate. |
| An
ideal position would
provide opportunities for robotics research, or involvement in a space
program. |
Prefer
the increased productivity
of team effort to the autonomy of working solo, but am a self-starter.
Have
enjoyed creating efficient
working environments for my employees, staff, and colleagues, and found
satisfaction in making their efforts more effective. |
