DESCRIPTION
Waec (WAY-eh-ck ) was a technology startup that developed autonomous delivery technology. Our first product was an autonomous ground drone that was able to safely and efficiently deliver local food-sale, convenience and retail items to urban residential areas at a fraction of the cost compared to standard delivery services. We provided quick, low cost, and sustainable deliveries for dense urban and metro areas. Our ground drones travelled on sidewalks and crosswalks at a walking speed of 4 mph, carried a payload up to 20 pounds, and had a delivery range of 3 miles before needing to recharge at our patented charging station. Our prototypes included a plethora of sensors along with a robust operating code that was developed in-house from our team of talented, industry leading engineers.

During this venture I spearheaded three patents, all of which pertained to creating faster, more efficient systems and methods for autonomous drone delivery - air and ground. Throughout the venture we employed 17 engineers, developed three working prototypes, had over 100 interested clients and produced a functioning delivery app.
