About Radix-2 Technologies

My technical career began in atmospheric science.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma, with additional study in mathematics, I worked as a broadcast meteorologist at television stations in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. At the same time, I began developing meteorological software professionally, combining an understanding of atmospheric physics with a growing interest in numerical methods, computing, radar, and signal processing.

In 1998, I transitioned into software engineering full time. What began with meteorological applications expanded into large-scale scientific software, geospatial systems, digital signal processing, radar, communications, and defense engineering.

That unusual path continues to influence the way I approach engineering today. Meteorology is fundamentally a problem of extracting useful information from complex, noisy, evolving physical systems. Many of the same principles appear in radar, RF propagation, communications, navigation, remote sensing, and autonomous systems.

As my career progressed, my work moved increasingly toward electrical engineering and signal processing. In 2017, I earned a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Ohio University, specializing in autonomous unmanned vehicle design.

My subsequent work has encompassed radar and communications systems, RF and microwave engineering, antenna systems, software-defined radio, propagation and channel modeling, signal detection and estimation, FPGA processing, and hardware/software integration.

Today, much of my work involves connecting domains that are too often treated independently: electromagnetic propagation, RF hardware, waveform design, signal processing, estimation, simulation, software, FPGA implementation, and system-level performance.

I maintain an active engineering laboratory for RF measurement, signal generation and analysis, SDR development, FPGA prototyping, antenna development, and experimental validation. For Radix-2, simulation is not an end product. Whenever practical, analytical and computational results are carried into hardware and tested against measurable physical behavior.

My engineering perspective has also been shaped by military service and operational experience.

I have served for over 19 years—and continue to serve in the reserves—with multiple deployments in support of U.S. military operations, including service in Afghanistan and with the Joint Special Operations Command. Those assignments included technical and operational leadership in environments where systems ultimately had to work outside the laboratory and where reliability, communications, environmental conditions, logistics, and human decision-making were inseparable parts of the engineering problem.

That experience continues to influence Radix-2’s engineering philosophy: understand the physics, build the model, test the implementation, measure the result, and remain focused on the operational problem the technology is intended to solve.
