Testimonials
"Knowing and working closely with Brian during my time in Shepherd, for over a decade, was a privilege. Brian excelled in system coding development, hardware development, electronics, GIS, and data integration. His practical approach, combined with life skills, enabled him to effectively tackle complex problems, whether they involved coding or hardware solutions. Brian's ability to solve intricate issues highlighted his versatility and innovative thinking.
I always found Brian to be hardworking and pursued continuous improvement, welcoming feedback from both internal sources and customers to enhance his work. Brian is a very down-to-earth person and is unassuming, making all feel comfortable around him. However, I found the value he brought to projects and the team was truly outstanding.
I highly recommend Brian for any role that can leverage his extensive skills and experience."

"This is a system that I would highly recommend to all road - sealed and unsealed - maintenance organizations for the information that can be gathered at up to 100 kmh. The current method of collecting data involves traffic control, manually placing a straight edge and recording the deformation is eliminated as all the information - depth, width and length- of rutting and wheel tracking is captured using LiDAR along with the roughness value and photos every 10m along the road being surveyed. This also reduces the amount of time and people involved in the gathering and processing of the data and vastly improves the safety aspect of the gathering of the data - nobody actually on the road. All of this is repeatable after maintenance has been completed as a compliance check as part of a maintenance contract.
As this system develops and other uses and ideas become known, Brian has always been ready to adapt and incorporate new ideas and suggestions into what he has developed with this asset management tool."
