Quiet Bird Consulting
Founded in
July, 2002, Quiet Bird Consulting utilized over 25 years of technology
design experience of its president, Dan Nessett. Dan’s skills
covered all aspects of networking and distributed systems (except the
physical layer). A detailed accounting of his technology work is found in
his resume.
His patents and publications catalog some of the original
work he produced during his career. Quiet Bird Consulting is no longer an
active enterprise. Dan decided to retire in 2004 in order to pursue
personal interests (musical composition and physics).
Some papers
