Joe Ryan received his Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1978 and his Masters in 1982 with specialization in electromagnetic theory. In 1987, he founded Sigma Engineering Limited, where he held the position of President. Over the past 25 years, Mr. Ryan has been involved in a range of marine R&D projects, including the development of radar recording, radar signal interfacing and radar signal processing technology for commercial applications. While their initial emphasis was on iceberg detection and search and rescue applications, these high-resolution radar processor systems have now proven their applicability in ice, vessel, port and airport traffic monitoring and established a niche in the growing homeland security market. Mr. Ryan has successfully marketed systems to the U. K., Belgium, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, the U.S. and Canada. In 1998 he co founded Rutter technologies to commercialize Sigma’s audio and video recording technology applicable to the marine voyage data recorder. Mr. Ryan is a director of Rutter Inc. (TSX:RUT) and sits on various IMO standards committees related to marine technologies.
