Ryan Phillips
Ryan is a Computer Science major with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma. He brings in experience from 3 semesters of developing technologies at the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth (CCEW) in fields ranging from book publishing to patient data monitoring. During his semester as a team lead, he led 9 interdisciplinary students through a process of ideation, market validation, and software development to develop the beta version of SIREN. SIREN is a weather analysis application that automates the analysis and notification of hazardous weather to the trucking industry. During the 2 months, the team developed a proprietary algorithm with help from meteorologists at the National Weather Center and developed the web-based application with CCEW alumni working in Google Maps. We are currently raising funding to launch this startup in August of 2014. As an intern at Garmin during the summer of 2013, his work on the next-generation of in-dash navigation prepared Ryan to bring a large-scale software project from ideation through production. During the summer of 2014, Ryan will be an intern at Microsoft working on the web-based version of Microsoft Office, Office365.
