Sean Weist has 20 years experience in technology businesses leading the design and delivery of software products and complex systems. He attended both Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Purdue University, earning a BSE degree in Interdisciplinary Engineering (Electrical / Mechanical). He received an MBA with Honors from the University of Notre Dame. He is also a licensed Professional Engineer. Initially, Sean's focus was on industrial automation and other process critical applications. These included software for medical device testing, nuclear and coal power plants, plant lighting control and power distribution, data acquisition, barcode / RFID tracking, and precision HVAC controls. He made numerous advances in aerospace manufacturing process automation for aircraft jet engine and Space Shuttle Main Engine components. These applications employed rich user interface design and computer graphics, elements that would later carry over into work on strategic planning, operations management, and other desktop and networked software. In addition to the work with Open Port described in the sidebar, he also designed wireless distributed software systems, including all server software modules and network protocol design.
