Just Who Is DeaTech Research Inc.?

No games, no pretense, DeaTech Research Inc. has been in business since 1988 (over 21 years) and has exactly one employee. You may see the use of the word "we" or "our" on this site to refer to the company as opposed "I" or "me" which would refer to myself (Shannon Dealy - President, Janitor, Bottle Washer, and senior executive assistant valet parking attendant :-)

DeaTech Research Inc. has contacts in many different disciplines that we can bring in to help with larger projects or those which require special outside expertise, additionally, since I have a compulsive need to keep learning new things, we are particularly well suited to solving technical problems which cross the boundaries of many different industries, or at least may be able to move up the learning curve for your particular needs much more quickly due to having some familiarity with so many different areas. My core technical background includes:

• Graduated from Oregon State University with a BS in Computer Science in 1983, emphasis on the design and implementation of Operating Systems, Assemblers, and Compilers.
• Performed extensive course work in Physics and Mathematics (for my first three years I was a double major in Physics and Computer Science) and completed one year of Honors Chemistry.
• 26 years professional programming experience
• Extensive electrical engineering knowledge and experience
• Have been involved in electronic design and repair both as a hobby and professionally for over 30 years. Designed and built several computers in the early 1980's before I finally started buying commercial computer systems.
• Expert in embedded systems, real-time software, device drivers and performance optimization
• Extensive work on medical devices (kidney dialysis, fetal monitors, patient monitors, heart defibrillators, blood analyzer, health analysis)
• Extensive web development experience
• Work experience includes government mil-spec code, data communications equipment, biomedical instrumentation (designed to meet FDA requirements), energy management, direct control of mechanical devices, and assorted other projects.

What does all of this do for you?  My background in Computer Science and mil spec code means that I know how to provide you with well structured well documented software with a clean maintainable design.  My background in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry allows me to come up to speed more quickly (should it be necessary), on the design principles of your product, and work with your scientific staff in the development of new devices or in creating modifications to an existing device.  An understanding of electronic design and trouble shooting coupled with background in Assemblers, Compilers, and Operating Systems means that I can look at the whole  system when a problem or bug occurs, and resolve it because I understand and can work at all of the different levels/layers of the design. This often eliminates the time wasting finger pointing between your software and hardware engineers because I don't care what the source of the problem is or whose fault it is, I just find it and fix it.

In addition to the above, since computers in general and embedded systems in particular are moving into virtually every discipline, in some cases my other skills may also be relevant to your project. Some of the many areas in which I have attained varying levels of skill over the years include include:

• Teacher / Lecturer (Computer Science, cob, natural building, life style)
• Building design, construction and repair, both conventional and alternative "natural" building techniques such as cob, straw bale, thatching, earthen floors, etc. This experience covers every aspect including plumbing, wiring, roofing and finishing work.
• Physical fitness, nutritional requirements and analysis
• CPR / First Aid
• Bicycle, kinetic sculpture, small engine and automobile mechanics
• Amature machinist and welder, casting work
• Solar and alternative energy systems - our office is off grid
• SCUBA Diver, Surfer, and Martial Artist
• Glass and pottery work

If you are looking for someone who can apply knowledge drawn from a wide range of disciplines, or think we are the kind of company you would like to have solving your problems, please contact us
