Mr. Gasztonyi is responsible for product strategy, development and delivery of Compressus' products. He also supports pre-commercial development and investigation of advanced technology for inclusion in future products. Mr. Gasztonyi has nearly 15 years of technical and managerial experience in the telecommunications and geo-spatial markets. Prior to joining Compressus, Mr. Gasztonyi was general manager of the Boeing-Autometric Visual Computing Group, which was formed after the acquisition of Autometric, Inc. by the Boeing Company in August 2000. The group developed, marketed and sold products and services for the computer-aided design, geo-spatial and visual simulation markets.
Mr. Gasztonyi joined Autometric in 1993 and held a series of management positions during a period in which sales grew from approximately $17 million to more than $130 million. Mr. Gasztonyi successfully led the product management and design teams that developed the company's third-generation 3D-visual-simulation and geo-spatial data warehousing products, which fueled the company's sales and installed base growth.
Prior to Autometric, Mr. Gasztonyi was employed by Harris Corporation's RF communications group, managing several system- and product-design teams for the wireless communications market. Products included a wireless image capture and transmission system, which included data compression, communication protocol, error control coding and power management schemes designed by Mr. Gasztonyi. During this time, Mr. Gasztonyi served as Harris' principal representative to ANSI X3L2.8 and X3L3, bodies that established the standards for image, video and document data compression, including MPEG, JPEG, JBIG and MHEG. Mr. Gasztonyi also represented Harris in the National Imagery Transmission Facility (NITF) standards forum. Mr. Gasztonyi has been awarded U.S. patents in the area of data compression and power management (numbers 5,686,961 and 5,339,445), and has patents pending in error-control coding and communication protocols for narrow band communication channels. Mr. Gasztonyi holds a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University, and participated in graduate studies in electrical engineering and computer science at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
