I built the software for the world's first complete implementation of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in a Compter-Aided Software Engineering tool in 1997. In 1999-2000 started and ran a technical talent recruiting team at Lucent/Bell Labs that hired 40 "top talent" "new graduate" engineers by offering a unique rotational mentoring program that allowed them to explore the company for a year before picking a permanent position. I have 5 awarded USPTO patents & 6 pending. I started my own company and have raised over $1M from friends/family. I homebrew amazing beer.
