Avalanches are a huge risk in the backcountry. I wanted to make it easier for backcountry recreators to choose a safe slope, so I designed and prototyped an avalanche safety mobile app that uses terrain data to visually depict slope danger on a map. Whether you’re skiing, snowmobiling, or mountaineering, this app is designed to be your backcountry companion.

A plug-in has never made me cry but this one has. It is the most amazing, lightweight, and functional plugin I have ever had the honor of using. It is a must use plugin for any one serious about WordPress and frankly should be built in to WordPress

My wife, Maddy, and I had always talked about traveling around the world. I think everybody does at some point. But we didn’t just want to talk about traveling our entire lives and wait until we were old and retired to actually do it. So, when Maddy finished her PhD, I quit my job, we put all our belongings in storage, and we took off for Japan.

This Mobius Design System was created to standardize the UI and general interaction principles for Mobius Software. This document acts as a guidebook for design decisions going forward, so these decisions need not be made over and over again. The document was made in Adobe Xd, so it can also serve as a copy-paste UI design library for UI components. It deals with everything from simple button styles to more complex mapping and vehicle tasking principles.

This app was designed to enable one user to monitor and manage several autonomous cleaning vehicles simultaneously. The app displays the status and progress of any vehicle and notifies the user in case intervention is necessary. A reporting feature displays data on vehicle utilization and runtime so users can fine tune their operations to be as efficient as possible.

The Mobius Icon System is a set of guidelines that ensures iconography in the Mobius App will remain consistent in style, format, and usage. Main characteristics include a clean, geometric form, pixel alignment, and a 20x20px size with a 2px stroke weight. The icon library contains more than 400 icons.

Mobius command and control software allows users to task and supervise a fleet of autonomous vehicles in several industries. A user selects a vehicle, selects a task, and then monitors progress. This software can replace a crew of workers with a single operator working remotely.

Mobius Mapbuilder software is used to create and edit maps containing geo-referenced boundary shapes. Properties of these shapes dictate where and how autonomous vehicles may operate in a given map.

Draw a path to create a drivable route that can be customized to match testing needs and course routes. Scriptable actions to execute at a specific point in a path. Vehicles can be tasked to run routes as many times as needed. No need to switch drivers out due to hazardous road conditions, fatigue, and driver breaks.
