Expert is currently the CEO and CTO of a company that researches, designs, and develops proprietary algorithms using MATLAB. In this role, he designs, develops, and tests electronic device prototypes and associated firmware, based on embedded system components for numerous clients for intellectual property protection. He's also responsible for designing and developing sensor electronics for application by NASA in the Space Exploration Program. Additional clients include Shell Oil and Texaco.
Recently, Expert was a Partner and Principal Researcher for Sygnology, a company that leverages the power of existing equipment data using proprietary technology to detect problems before they start, reducing cost and downtime, and requiring no expensive installations. Here, his team developed a proprietary signal mapping algorithm for aliased data that is able to detect precursors to wear and damage in rotating equipment and detect large leaks in flowlines and valves. The company applied their technology solution with one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, leading to detection of mechanical problems in electrical submersible pumps. Additionally, Expert served as a Biomedical Engineer for various companies throughout his career, including Biomedtronics LLC, Sigtek, Cardio Rhythms LLC, AW HEC Inc., and Vital Assist.
