Free lance developer
Adox
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Medical Devices industry)
June 2003 — July 2004 (1 year 2 months)
Developed a generic graph generator for PalmOS devices. This application communicates to the respirator devices manufactured by Adox via serial links or over bluetooth, and made graphical representations based on the data feed for several variables such as:
-Airway Pressure
-Flow
-Volume
I've also developed a similar graphic tool for the oximeter device the company manufactured.
These applications bring a means of simplicity for the physician who comes near a patient's bed so he can see what the important variables level are, without having to reach out for the actual devices' monitor, just by connecting to it with his Palm device.
The application also had a session logger which could reproduce the session later and saved historical information about the patient so the expert could read it later and bring conclusions on it. -
Product Manager

November 2000 — March 2004 (3 years 5 months)
While working at Movilogic, I developed the Sales Force Automation app and quickly became Product Manager for it; this application has been ported to several platforms, customized and sold to a variety of industries (i.e. pharmaceutical, goods distribution):
