ARTIFEX TECHNOLOGIES

About

Talking about a research forward start up is never easy.

I encourage any students/first time founders who are interested to reach out at the bottom of the page to learn more. This is the basics of how/what/why

Why we existed

ARTIFEX came out of my research at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, analyzing and developing solutions for the disconnects between preservation 3D scanning and Architectural Drawing. I worked with Anna Baytosh, who was an amazing business partner and friend through the whole process and provided the backbone for the successes we achieved.

What we did (roughly in this order)

• Built early stage hardware prototypes

• Created interpretation scripts and loggers for PJRC Teensy Units to collect building data

• Competed for SBIR Grants

• Raised money from various investors (including Launch Incubator Jason Calacanis)

• Built software prototypes to interpret and visualize this data

• Built a web app version that interpreted scans and data from other sources

• Worked on a bunch of awesome projects with amazing people

• Got everyday people on our platform

Details of Algoritm in Practice. Accuracy became a double edged sword, squaring was used in this example

Sequence Diagrams

As the technical founding member, I managed the timelines for production of hardware and software demos and products, while also contributing on pitchdecks and doing presentations.
