Pratt, Gary: - "Gary Pratt is a licensed Professional Engineer and president of ControlSphere Engineering. He began his career in 1982 designing instrumentation and control systems for Chevron Corporate Engineering in San Francisco. Gary ventured into PCB/FPGA design for medical imaging systems and marketing for integrated circuit design tools before returning to his roots in instrumentation and controls on the first PLC system to control a GE gas turbine engine. From there Gary discovered CODESYS and its significant superiority over other development systems and became an instant evangelist - first for an innovative manufacturer of an extreme cyber secure CODESYS-based PLC, and eventually serving as founding president for CODESYS North America. These days Gary dedicates his time to passing his knowledge on to the next generation and helping CODESYS users get started in the right direction."
