This is the personal website for Tim Kehres. I am a network engineer / businessman from the USA now working and living in Asia. Am passionate about building usable real world solutions. This applies to electronics, systems, network engineering, education and business. It’s all about balance!
Career
I started my career as a hardware engineer designing microcontroller solutions based on the Intel 8748 (both hardware and software). Then moved into the systems area working for some of the first Silicon Valley companies providing commercial UNIX machines and later the first company commercializing the TCP/IP protocol stack. I later did applied R&D for LLNL where I was fortunate to work on new electronic email technologies and solutions together with International standards work. After LLNL I continued my work in the areas of electronic mail technologies by providing consulting services in the Silicon Valley area, eventually founding International Messaging Associates (IMA) where we built some of the first MIME-compliant gateway solutions for PC networks.
International Messaging Associates and the Move to Asia
We moved IMA to Hong Kong in 1994 and built it into a multi-million dollar business, eventually expanding to include a second office in the Philippines where most of our test engineering, support, marketing, sales, and writing work was done. After IMA I started Jade Networks to provide Internet IT services (datacenter, consulting, and writing services). Under Jade Networks we helped build the new Macau Name Registrar. Jade continues to provide Internet services and consulting while building educational solutions on top of these services.
Consulting Services
I provide consulting services in the areas of Network Planning and Infrastructure, Software Development, IoT Design, VoIP Planning and Deployment, Technical and Business Writing, and Web Services. Solutions include design, deployment, audit, capacity planning, and the security and monitoring of enterprise class servers, services and networks.
