Patrick R. McElhiney has begun working on his PhD degree in Computer Science at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in Durham, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. Currently, Patrick is working on pre-requisite classes that he has stated he is finding extremely easy to fulfill considering he already has a Master’s in Information Technology (MSIT). Patrick graduated from UNH’s Manchester campus this summer, after successfully defending his Thesis entitled “Scalable Web Service Development with Amazon Web Services”, which is being published with open access, and a copy will remain in the Diamond Library in Durham.
Patrick was promoted to Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of MCE123, pursuant to his 20 years of experience in the industry and his successful completion of his MSIT degree. He is currently working on re-coding the entire MCE123 website, and is working with several other companies to completely overhaul MCE123.com. He is also in charge of many different servers for web hosting, which can be considered a Big Data operation at over 40TB of storage arrays active now. McElhiney developed a new Social Media platform known as MeAndYou, www.meandyou.us, as part of the project for his master’s Thesis.
Patrick McElhiney has also been working on a Marketing Planner web app, which he intends to sell to a major marketing firm in the future. The web app allows multiple users to interact with sets of forms to develop marketing plans of several different types, including standard and comprehensive. Patrick is responsible for all of the research that has gone into the project, and he has been working with several other UNH students to work on the coding of the website and deployment of the infrastructure.
Patrick is still doing work for MCE123 Technology Development as well, including the development of a concept for an essential oils wireless controlled diffuser, that would give a sense of smell to watching television or movies, by releasing specific scents at specific times of the film, or allow a home user to select a scent from mixtures of multiple essential oils that are all contained in small bottles that securely adhere to the device through suction. McElhiney hasn’t filed for any of the patents for any of his invention concepts, which are located on MCE123.com, because he doesn’t have enough time and resources to pursue them all. They act as a reference point for potential employers to see how versatile Patrick can be when he is challenged.
