Hi 44Net,

At long last, I'm pleased to share with you that ARDC has hired a new
Director of Technology, Jon Kemper.

In his role, Jon will be working with the foundation, volunteers and
community members to lead the assessment, development, and
implementation of new technology initiatives, manage open source
projects, and improve the operational efficiency of both 44Net and the
grantmaking side of the house.

Jon brings a wealth of experience managing global engineering teams
using software development methodologies. Notable projects include:
remotely-operated vehicles (including underwater vehicles), Internet of
things (IoT) sensors, and embedded control systems. His amateur radio
activities include the building of 70 cm repeaters that link together
via RF and VoIP and design of a flat audio board used to equalize and
route discriminator audio.

Jon holds an Amateur Extra Class amateur radio license and a commercial
General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). He studied computer
science and physics at California State University San Marcos and has an
AA Degree from Palomar College. Jon is a lifelong learner in the field
of technology and has been awarded 4 U.S. patents, including one for an
automotive security device and one for a device that measures
temperature and converts that measurement into a color.

Jon was introduced to radio and electronics by his grandfather, Guy A.
Kemper, who founded Kemper Radio Laboratories in Los Angeles. At ARDC,
Jon will be carrying on the family tradition of helping future
generations become interested in science and technology.

We are thrilled to have Jon on board and look forward to evolving and
improving our technology under his direction.

Onwards and 73,
Rosy
