Professional Career Overview

Edward Stull studied as an undergraduate specializing in computer and microwave engineering. Upon being commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force, he received additional training on military communications after which he commanded many missions involving NATO and emergency tactical scenarios. This led to him to become involved in the technical aspects of intelligence. Upon leaving the military, Ed became a research engineer in civil service at the US Air Force’s intelligence center where he developed in conjunction with contractors what became the center’s first technical information system (used artificial intelligence). His success with that system, led to him becoming the center’s Director of Advanced Development which led to Ed being engaged with many advanced data system developers, especially those involving artificial intelligence. Ed led and participated in projects requiring some of the highest levels of reliability and sensitivity. Upon leaving civil service, he became a government contractor both through hi-tech corporations and individually. In that period of his career, he often led or advised on advanced computing as well as becoming involved in and sometimes leading corporate mergers and acquisitions with hi-tech interests. In 1984, after several major successes, he developed what was believed to be the first commercial expert systems for a major corporation including taking on lead roles in national and international standardization. In 2012, he joined MiddleGate, Inc. then became its EVP and CTO where he built his sixth major system involving advanced computing and artificial intelligence. In his 5+ decades of professional experience, specializing in advance computing and artificial intelligence, Ed has managed and participated in all phases of very large (5000+ users) to small systems, generally involved in command-and-control problems for the military and industry.
