Working with a small team to really make a difference with our world leading technology. We have grown from 8 to 40 staff in the last 2 years. Currently we are mapping the entire Washington DC Metro network amongst other projects. I have also personally completed a side project called Pride of Place for our partner Verizon. Which allows school kids to visit national places of interest and view and listen to multi-media content that they have submitted themselves. I've also been solely responsible for creating an app for a Visual Positioning System that locates a user based on photos used to triangulate them inside a 3D map using machine learning.
