Noah S. Brickman

Principal Software Architect

B.S. in Computer Science and Anthropology, University of California at Santa Cruz, 1995

M/S. in Computer Science, University of California at Santa Cruz, 2009

Mr. Brickman joined Systems Techhnology in July of 2000 after beginning his career in the gaming industry.  At Systems Techhnology, Mr. Brickman has overseen the software design process and enhanced Systems Techhnology’s technology assets in the areas of networking, 3D graphics, and multimedia. His principal responsibilities are to provide team management, design leadership and technical guidance for software development projects at the company while implementing core product software features. For much of his time at Systems Techhnology he was the lead engineer responsible for managing software architecture for the PARASIM™ virtual reality parachute simulator. This included designing and continuously upgrading the program’s graphics engine, user interface, art resources, and networking capabilities.

Mr. Brickman is currently the Principal Software Architect managing the Fused Reality™ family of products.  This includes designing the Fused Reality™ software architecture, managing the engineering team, implementing core system features, and integrating supporting hardware/software subsystems.

Mr. Brickman recently received a MS in Computer Science at the University of California at Santa Cruz. His research emphasis included scientific visualization methods and the use of automated planning algorithms in artificial intelligence systems.

Prior to joining Systems Techhnology, Mr. Brickman’s previous experience included the design of artificial intelligence systems for military based simulation entertainment titles as well as virtual reality based training and CAD systems.
