November 1997 to Present Day
Chief Technology Officer
As CTO, I am responsible for all product software development, quality assurance testing,
customer service and technical support, and internal systems management. At different
times, I have led Customer Service Relationship and Technical Support teams as large as
8 employees and development teams as large as 4.
I am the lead software architect for the Linux-based backend of NetMaster's
Gateway Guardian.
This company started as NetMaster Networking Solutions in 1997, was renamed to Merilus Technologies in
1999, and went public on the OTC as Merilus, Inc. in January 2000. Unfortunately, after failing
to complete the expected investment financing, Merilus closed it's doors in early 2001. In late 2001,
NetMaster Digital Security was formed by the original founders of Merilus and continues operations to
this day.
