Co-founder, CEO

Jul 1995 - Jan 2004
Launched and managed software consulting and development company. Company's mission was to explore and implement software reuse strategies to speed development and lower cost and risk of custom software projects. The XOflow software product (see Projects bio) was borne out of an effort to provide rapid online design and development of applications through the Chainlink system which I visioned and developed during this period (used in government and education applications). Also during this period, designed and developed several mobile automotive technologies including the sophisticated Remote Rental Car system (patented) which allowed vehicles in remote locations to be rented and managed through a touch screen-computer-GPS-vehtronics system integrated into the vehicle itself. In role of business owner and CEO, performed all business duties including marketing, business development and sales, software requirements analysis and design, software development and support, project management, staff hiring and management, staff and customer training ... and general toilet cleaning and snow shoveling duties.
