Experience
COO, Co-founder & Director
Apr 2010 — Present
Able Device is dedicated to driving innovation that reduces the cost, complexity, and risk associated with developing embedded wireless applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. Able Device\'s first commercial offering, SIMbae, is an application engine that enables the hosting and execution of IoT applications on an MNO’s SIM instead of on a discrete embedded CPU dedicated to the application. The MNO’s SIM is a secure, resettable, processor, updatable via standard Over the Air (OTA) technology, making it the ideal location to host and execute all aspects of an IoT application. This approach revolutionizes the connected device architecture of machines and devices in all vertical segments resulting in cost savings, ease of development, future-proofing, and increased application security.
