Robert Stevenson
Robert has over 28 years business and technical experience, mainly in the pharmaceutical, electronics and IT sectors. Starting as a bench technician, he rose through the ranks to become the head of analytical services for a major pharmaceutical manufacturer. His specialty was test instrumentation, originally in the context of calibration and maintenance, progressing to electronic instrument design. His designs for microcomputer/microcontroller circuitry have been published internationally.
In the early 1990s he founded and ran a specialist electronic components distribution business, which grew from a seed capital of £5000 to a company with over 2000 customers in 32 countries within 4 years.
Following the electronics components business Robert moved into the IT sector developing software for various DSP chips and handling CCTV camera motion. This work was the inspiration for the development of several advanced fuzzy logic algorithms, many of which are now used as the core technology on which the Videalert products are based.
