Troy began his career with Orbit One Communications as its first hired developer in the fledgling IoT industry. He was tasked with integrating a variety of fledgling satellite-based tracking devices into and building a revolutionary web-based GIS and asset tracking and logistics system called FELIX. As the company needed more robust and reliable asset tracking devices than were available on the market, he helped design and develop the hardware, embedded software, supporting utilities and manufacturing test equipment for the SX1 product line. Continuing with Numerex after the acquisition of Orbit One, Troy developed the FLEX asset tracker and a suite of wireless based sensors to enable remote monitoring and acquisition of field data. Additionally, he developed embedded software for cellular asset trackers and home alarm and automation systems. After a brief industry transition to developing world class laser diode instrumentation equipment for ILX Lightwave between 2012 and 2013, he returned to his IoT roots with Geoforce to lead development efforts on the GT family of products. Troy holds a BS degree from Montana State University. He has been featured multiple times in industry publications for his work on reverse engineering RF protocols and implementing RF in novel ways.
