My Story

After seeing a gap in the market that offered the opportunity to reduce signal system downtime, save money, and rapidly accelerate learning, I decided to create the signal troubleshooting software that is now Signal Scout.

With a background in Electrical and Computer Engineering, I have worked in the signal and train control world in numerous roles from front-line field supervision of construction and maintenance forces on freight and commuter railways, to project design, engineering, testing, and system integration, seeing many and varied aspects of what the signal world has to offer. This unique perspective, as well as a drive and desire to improve myself and help improve those around me, led me to found Semaphore Software and work on my passion project.
