Founder/President of Sumner Internet Marketing Environments Corp (SIME Corp).
Alan started building computers at age 15. After graduating with an applied physics degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute he went on to creating early subjective view video games for the Atari with CBS Electronics. Continuing to apply computers to new worlds, during his 10 years at Krautkramer Branson, Alan then fathered many industrial ultrasonic testing product lines transforming the testing paradigm with embedded and windows based solutions.
As a founder of SIME Corp, Alan had applied his diverse technology skills to transforming the small mom and pop based niche industries by creating an Internet Marketing Environments system that was an image based content management system targeted at the specific niche industries. The first industry (the art industry) was selected due to the principals in the company as well as artwork would be the hardest visual objects to describe. Once the first IME was stabilized Alan then became principal designer at New Potato Technologies where he went back to his embedded development days and fathered RF based consumer products to iPhone applications merged with custom iPhone/iPad adapters.
For the past 20 years Alan has been working with his mother, Doris, as the technical lead blending design with art. This partnership has led to creating many art language elements they have used over the years for example fabricating on a large scale, robotics, video, sound and neon.
