| Approach | ||||||||||||||||
| Solutions are developed using a common sense evolutional approach. Emphasis is on combining the collective wisdom of the workforce with a detailed knowledge of physical laws and 30 years of experience in chemical process manufacturing. Software projects described above share source code, which allows for rapid (i.e. low cost) development of software to support and control implemented process improvements. | ||||||||||||||||

| 2007 - present | Affiliated with the BioProcess Institute. The Institute works with companies worldwide, offering a diverse portfolio of services ranging from consulting to testing to training and development. | |||||||||||||||
| 2005 - present | Design and support of a number of Microsoft Excel/VBA tools used at Amgen Corporation world-wide including: Capital construction project management; Site Resource Management; Maximo Asset Management reporting and metrics; Trackwise Non-Conformance / Corrective Action / Preventive Action reporting and metrics; Integrating Maximo and Trackwise data for comprehensive metrics reporting; Outage resource management; Site utility long term master planning; Manufacturing process modeling. | |||||||||||||||
| 2004 - present | Design and support of SMART software tools that interface with Consona’s AXIS Enterprise Resource Planning solution for manufacturers of metals, wire and cable, as well as metal service centers. Recent advances include SQL Server replication of Progress database for more robust reporting. | |||||||||||||||
| 1999 – present | Designed and manufactured computer hardware and software for monitoring manufacturing process equipment (5 installed sites; Amgen, Astrazenica, Bradford Soap, Brystol Meyers Squibb, C&M Manufacturing). This software (AutoData) is a complete multi-user PLIMS {Process and Lab Information Management System}, integrates with ERP systems and has a SQL Server back end. | |||||||||||||||
| 1995 – present | Designed and manufactured control system for cooling of large buildings by evaporative cooling (42 installed sites including Loews, Hon). This process has significant savings over air conditioning. | |||||||||||||||
| 1983 – present | Chemical process design and optimization for large scale batch and continuous processes. Designed comprehensive process simulation and control package for batch processing of toilet soaps. Over 500,000,000 pounds of soap produced using this software. | |||||||||||||||
| 2003 - 2004 | Designed computer hardware and software for General Electric to control an auxiliary cooling system for electrical sub-station transformers. 24x7x365 performance required. Authorized remote access provided for configuration and downloading of historical performance. Automatic Fax, Voice and email options for daily reports and emergency alerts. Provided companion simulation package for marketing. This software predicts transformer performance under varying loads and weather conditions with and without the auxiliary cooling system. | |||||||||||||||
| 2002 - 2004 | Designed and manufactured digital and internet-based video surveillance system. Automated email feature provides daily status reports. Allows authorized access to both real-time and historical images from any computer on the LAN. | |||||||||||||||
| 2003 | Designed ASSET software for the EPA; ASSET has been used by over 5,000 municipal drinking water facilities on two continents to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks. | |||||||||||||||
| 2001 | Designed automated monitoring system for groundwater remediation at EPA Superfund site [Future train station near Green Airport, Warwick, RI]. This system has been running 24x7x365 since February 2002 with only a failure of 1 hardware component, no software problems. System provides a faxed daily report predicting when filter changes are required. | |||||||||||||||
| 2000 – 2002 | Designed StatTrader software for trading financial statistics over the Internet. The software provides gigabytes of comprehensive historical financial statistics broken down by SIC codes, company ownership type, sales volume and year. (More details) | |||||||||||||||
