Kenneth Ellis’s Summary
I am an expert in generating new ideas, crafting them into products, and implementing them quickly and efficiently. To that end I have performed original research, managed engineering teams, and overseen intellectual property strategy. Within the software industry I have expertise in architecture, networking, development practices, databases, redundancy and scaling, natural language processing, complex numerical calculations, search and information retrieval, sales, and cloud computing.
Aside from my experience in the software industry, I have a broad understanding of the technology behind the digital age, from the subatomic up to global social networks. I have conducted research, written papers, and filed patents in several industries: materials used in microelectronic devices; the devices themselves; software built upon the devices.
