Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrant Cox is a pragmatic founder and lead developer with nine years of experience turning sprawling operational challenges into compact, reliable systems for education, manufacturing, and small businesses. As Chair of the VEX Game Design Committee he annually led cross-functional teams to design global robotics competitions played by hundreds of thousands of students, then translated that same systems-thinking into consulting work that shrinks data workflows from hours to minutes. His hands-on engineering background spans back-end software improvements (including contributions to the widely used GNU Radio project), DSP and RF interests, plus practical implementations like inventory and supply-chain forecasting apps, mobile invoicing, and e-commerce/IT overhauls. Known for clear technical writing, consensus-driven leadership, and creative problem-solving, he pairs public-facing production experience with deep operational know-how. Based in Dallas, he enjoys tackling “unsolvable” problems and coaching teams to sustain solutions long after launch.
