From my early work on transportation projects and wind tunnel sales globally, through founding iPOV (a video eLearning technology company), to recent projects in agricultural exports and supply chain standardization, I have operated in settings that required complex matching of scattered and disparate needs.

My 26-year academic career (mostly at Auburn University) provided a theoretical grounding in how complex systems function and fail, while my concurrent business ventures offered real-world lessons and earned skills and (mostly) validation of academic concepts. I researched everything from manufacturing quality standards to supply chain dynamics, learning patterns, and product variety management. My experience includes developing video-based training systems for manufacturers, creating innovative educational delivery platforms, and building technology solutions for complex operational challenges. This combination of rigorous academic analysis and practical business implementation inspired Cosolvent as a potential solution for automating the nuanced matching that these specialized situations require.
