Detailed Employment and Work History
Current Position: Intellect, Inc., Dallas, Texas, CEO/CIO, (July 1981 - CURRENT)
Report to Board of Directors: Mr. Steven Cohen, Chairman
Since beginning under my direction in July 1981, Intellect Inc., (avg. staffing level 40 professionals) attained a strong reputation and successful track record in advanced technology development projects. National/International work focuses on planning, development and implementation of live hardware/software information tracking networks. Specific projects completed by my staff and I include the following:
(Current Projects):
(2005-Current): Patient and Facilities Monitoring System For IntelleCare, Inc.
(Project halted due to lack of funding)
I led a team of twelve programmers and design personnel in a multi-year effort to design and program a comprehensive hospital and large medical facility tracking, monitoring and clinical data collection system. The system work was halted due to lack of funding in March of 2008. The system was originally written in Delphi and Delphi assembler language and is being converted to Visual Studio.NET using C# and VB. The system includes both specialized hardware and software interfaces. A range of wireless devices and software was programmed including cellular phone (IVR) interface and document/image scanner interfaces. The activities and movement of patients and personnel are tracked live, by wireless entrance and exit tracking sentinels. An HL7 interface was designed and was partially programmed as of this date.
Additionally, I designed and programmed a large part of an image and clinical data management system for the client, which accumulated multimedia data directly from modalities such as MRI, and made that data part of a central repository called the SoftPACS™ network using a MS SQL Server database and C++ platform. Subject to security provisions, medical personnel, administration, physicians, staff and patients could gain access to parts of the data via a special downloadable software program available over a secured Web based network interface developed by myself.
(2002-2006) Individual Health Monitoring and Screening System for IntelleCare, Inc.)
(Project Dates Overlap with Previous Project)
I designed a complex system and managed a team of 7 programmers implementing a medical self testing solution for families and individuals that promotes preventative health and early detection of major illnesses such as cancer. The system includes a set of user software programs collectively called the Family Health Desktop which facilitates recording, analysis and sharing of health test results and conditions. A cellular phone interface was also implemented with Dialogic and Asterisk featuring voice based data entry. The software interfaces with a set of Intellect developed self testing kits which analyze hair, saliva, blood and urine for signs of major illness. I programmed the system in Delphi and Borland C++ using various relational database management systems including Interbase, MySQL and MS SQL Server. It is scheduled to be converted to Visual Studio .NET.
(1998-2002) National health Repository, Partnership with Pacific Bell
I was responsible for negotiation of a long-term joint development/marketing contract with Pacific Bell to design and program a live U.S. health data repository for secure accumulation of health related test results, clinical multimedia, statistics and similar data. I assumed full management responsibility for the project handling a $7,000,000 budget and programmed much of the system personally in Delphi and C++. The project was staffed with approximately 15 full time developers. Programming and testing was completed successfully in late 2002, but the product has not been marketed due to funding limitations and the acquisition of Pacific Bell by AT&T. The system was developed on the Pacific Bell backbone and contained both Web based and traditional software programs. Parts of the system were written in Microsoft C++ using Oracle database management. Most Web work was done with Dream Weaver. A peer-to-peer (P2P) interface was implemented with Delphi and a cellular phone interface was implemented using Pacific Bell proprietary IVR software and hardware. The project was tracked using Pacific Bell project management software and Microsoft Project.
(1993-1998) VisionQuest® Secured Online Meeting System (VSOM)
In 1993, I successfully negotiated the purchase of a patented Microsoft DOS and Mainframe based software/hardware system and customer base facilitating secured remote online meeting and distance training. The assets were purchased from a venture capital company. I acquired approximately 20 software developers, management and sales personnel. During the next 5 years, we reengineered the system, converting it to a Microsoft Windows Platform using C++ and Informix, and released new versions. I successfully reactivated a large customer base with the new software, filed a patent, and attained over $3,000,000 in recurring revenue from major teaching universities and hotel chains. The system used an in-house developed secured TCP/IP transport system. Over 1,000 customers used the system, which was eventually sold to IBM/Ventana at a substantial profit.
(1987-1992) Key-to-Disk Hardware and Software System for Centrex International and memorex/Telex
I successfully negotiated the acquisition of a division of Memorex known as the “GCS” division that was involved with the total engineering/support of a special purpose mini-computer, operating system, a computer language and applications software for high-volume financial transaction capture and management, disaster recovery and claims processing. The acquisition also included all patents, several hundred customers in the United States and abroad and approximately 12 warehouse/office locations. Over a 6 year period, I managed the division and all technical aspects with approximately 45 full time personnel and 40 outsourced consultants in the U.S. and overseas. We vastly improved the system by adding a PC and improved IBM mainframe interface, new hardware circuits and eventually a Windows interface. We responded to software modification contracts and conversions of many customers. Revenue from software modifications and customer support alone exceeded $2,500,000 annually. I personally managed, designed and programmed many systems and also developed a comprehensive IBM mainframe VSAM interface using COBOL, ALC and CICS. Customers included Aetna, Travelers Insurance, Sanwa banks, the FBI, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Lockheed Aircraft, Grumman, the English stock exchange, the States of Colorado and Connecticut, PEMEX, Warner Lambert and many others.
(1988-1993) Key Medical Examiners Laboratory Information System (LIMS), Tarrant County, Texas
(Project Dates Overlap with Previous Project)
After winning a competitive bid for the development and implementation of a secured crime lab system over a 5 year implementation timetable, I designed and began programming the system using Microsoft C++, Assembler language and IBM ES9000 mainframe interface. The system interfaced directly with forensic equipment such as electron microscopes, DNA analysis systems, spectrometers and toxicology systems. A staff of 7 developers was involved and EDS was designated as the project manager. The system was partially completed when sold to an EDS affiliate who assumed responsibility to complete the project.
(1981-1988) Various Projects completed as summarized below
Prior to the design and programming of the crime lab system, I was involved in the design and programming of several different systems.
These include: a secured medical multi-media (FedEx like) service for shipping of medical information, the development of a smart card reader interface for personnel tracking, a voice identification system, and various business systems using Microsoft C/C++, Borland Delphi, Assembler language and both relational and non-relational data base solutions.
