I currently work for CyberBuzz as the director of marketing and a web producer. I am responsible for marketing CyberBuzz through on-campus campaigns, Internet advertising, and for ensuring that CyberBuzz has a useful feature toolbox. By redesigning the organization's business plan and by building on the preexisting infrastructure of network resources and other assets, I was able to help the team increase membership by 100% in eight months. CyberBuzz now stands as the campus-portal leader, and will continue to steadily grow.

inventions.and.innovations

While working at mPhase Technologies, Inc., I developed MHMT (multifrequency highbandwidth multicasting technology), worked on logarithmic compression, and designed a new technique for implementing set-top boxes. These technologies are protected under non-disclosure, and are owned wholly by mPhase Technologies, Inc.

MHMT is a method of fragmenting and defragmenting complex signals so that hundreds of analog signals can be embedded into one single signal. It is best implemented over IP multicasting, and is only more efficient under very high stress loads. Logarithmic compression is a method of compressing a sinusoid signal to significantly reduce attenuation in last-mile solutions. While MHMT can be theoretically modelled to work, it became practically impossible when possible implementation scenarios were diagrammed. On the other hand, logarithmic compression does work, and could be practically implemented.
