IoT sensor units for oil field maintenance.

Role

CTO

Description

Arduino-based initially, and moved to NXP for production, these sensor modules were Internet connection agnostic. They could unilaterally take actions for the safety of workers or protect assets. When Internet connected, they used XML streams to provide data used to protect equipment and oil. For example, by sensing bearing temperature and vibration, corrective maintenance could be done before a failure occurs. Vibration sensors placing on piping could sense if a thief was tapping a pipe to steal oil.

Windows kernel extension to store operational details of a PC from first power-on

Company

Windows kernel extension to store operational details of a PC from first power-on

Description

The project was for a top U.S. computer manufacturer. The code extended the Windows kernel as an installable module, and would track when the computer was first powered-on, total time powered on, if the hardware was modified, if the OS was reloaded, and other criteria. The manufacturer would use this information for warranty validation, returns, MTBF, etc. The data was stored in unused space in the clock modules NVRAM.
