Distributed Antenna Systems-Install and Test.
I utilize cognitive skills to analyze and dissect the complaint, identify the meaningful forensics evidence, and communicate conclusions. Reports and testimony are prepared for lay people, technical people, and executives. I am located in Texas and have no geographical boundaries.
A great benefit of having a development and business method solutions background helps me in both commercial and patent litigation and in consulting.
Below is my detailed experience and qualifications. In brief, my career has ranged from programmer/systems analyst and marketing to CEO. I have worked with start-ups to Fortune 500 (including Fortune 10) companies and authored for the SEC and Vancouver Stock Exchanges business plans and product analysis of companies applying to go public.
My industry career centered on IT driven business methods, workflow, technological devices, and execution of business operations. My 30+ cases needed an understanding of business-oriented solutions and technology. Patent cases need an understanding of business methods and technology. Software dispute cases frequently require expertise in the Software Development Life Cycle phases and Project Management.
The expert needs project management experience in business analysis and development tasks. This knowledge may go beyond technology skills. The expert witness needs knowledge of tasks used to develop a product and business analysis used to define deliverables. In product development the business analysis does the "what", the developer does the “how”.
Among my attorney clients are Locke, Lord; Kane, Russell; James Arnold; Cooley, Godward; Latham, Watkins; Kelly, Hart; Naman Howell; Smith, Vitullo; Strasburger and Price; Walters, Balido, andCrain. My cases include testimony and consulting for cases in the U.S. District Courts for the Texas Districts Northern, Southern, Western, and Eastern Districts and Districts in CA, and NY.
Before practicing as a forensic expert witness I was with IBM for 17 years as a software product developer, project manager, and in marketing; positions with leading software companies; executive experience with entrepreneurial companies; authoring entrepreneurial product evaluations for various stock exchanges; and cross industry assignments in such industries as manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, software, public sector, financial, energy, distribution, retail, healthcare, CAD/CAM, automation, and logistics.
My employers and clients include Oracle(US 2nd largest software compny), Cullinet Software Systems (1st software company listed on NYSE), General Dynamics, Boeing, BT Systems, Computer Sciences Corp(US 5th largest outsourcing company), Verizon, DOD, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Chubb Insurance, EDS, and EMSI Health.
Experience as both a customer and a vendor gives me unique insights in understanding and analyzing evidence for testimony and reports.
My methodology:
Gather information and data from client personnel and from documentation.
Analyze information and data for forensics evidence to be presented in testimony and reports.
Use the available evidence to determine the real essence of the case.
Compare contract defined deliverables with what was delivered.
Compare promised dates with actual dates of the deliverables if contract deliverables are included in the case.
Construct “Infringement” and “Prior Art” matrices (charts) with analysis for patent cases and define business method.
Construct “Complaint” and analysis matrices for other case types.
Prepare Testimony around the essence of the case.
Construct and Present Report focusing on the forensics of the essence of the case.
