Notable Projects Include:

Moab - Partnering w/Microsoft, Moab is a device & system for those interested in reinforcement learning. Moab takes a simple problem, balancing a ball on a plate, & empowers a person to build their own "brain" to solve this using the Bonsai AI platform.

Fresh designed the hardware & initial control software for the system. It uses python to interface with the firmware and containerization via docker to allow easy updates without running upgrade scripts. The system is designed to be "hackable" to learn through experimentation.

Delivery Tracking Platform - A leading cement & aggregate material company needed a modern platform to handle the volume of data. Tickets, vehicles, & locations needed to be tracked from generation in a legacy system to a new platform with updates in real time.

The new platform was built using a microservice architecture consisting of .Net Core data APIs & business controllers. A React web app serves dispatchers. Drivers use a React Native Android app to send messages & status changes. Kafka retrieves & sends status updates to services & legacy system without modifying legacy code. A robust Jenkins pipeline provides a CI/CD flow.

Legal Bundling App - Fulfilling a vital need in the international legal workflow process, this tool is an Angular/.Net WebAPI app that allows legal groups to collaborate & organize documents during the "pre-trial" phase of a legal matter. The data tier uses an existing framework, providing offline access. The platform was built with scalability & internationalization in mind, using configuration over customization.
