About Our Founder

Mark J Heiferling referred to as “Hunter” has slightly over 27 years of experience in data communications, intelligent computing, radio communications, systems integration, product design and IT systems with major firms in the past such as: Wang Labs, Data General, Western Union, Noise Cancellation Technologies, Competitive Technologies, Kindex, and currently Bluetronix Inc. He has been in “C” level for three firms and VP and a Director of several others. Credentials include: a BA in Economics, Master of Science in Technology Management, MBA, a Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, and QFD-Quality Functional Deployment certifications. His experiences range from an inventor, manager, product designer, operations/project manager, business development and technology integrations. He has designed over twenty seven different tech designed products and services. Mr. Heiferling was selected for Presidential Small Business Commission United States of America for the State of Ohio by George W Bush. In 2010 he received Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Innovative Success award for six years of successful R&D for DARPA, and the Defense Dept. He has been involved in renowned world-wide research development in active noise cancellation ANC (one of the founding fathers of the ANC algorithms for timing of engine using a patented synch), intelligent computing, machine learning and various forms of artificial Intelligence for communications, IoT, IIoT, and system’s optimization. He is an inventor, entrepreneur, manager, scientist, author, designer, and an adjunct professor. Five-time SBIR Small Business Innovation Research award winner, & two time R&D NASA, Army, AF contract winner.
