Roving Dynamics Ltd, is just one guy (Boz) who prides himself on actually making things; Whether it’s a simple software or hardware interface, all the way up to a complete production system, there is usually a useful product at the end of the line. In July 2025 I will be finishing the contract with my biggest client and I will become available for your latest project, big or small, contract or full-time. I have written a post on the companies future here.
Systems Design
Maybe you want custom software to control your whole business or just a small interface program to fill a gap in your systems? Or maybe you want custom electronics built specifically for your requirement? Or maybe just that fiddly bit in the middle which nobody else seems to be able to manage; With Roving Dynamics you really do get full-stack engineering, and I cover the full spectrum of a company’s requirements from the factory floor to the head office. More..
The business is quite well established and supports critical infrastructure for customers from around New Zealand and the World. Projects such as the Indevin Winemaking System which I wrote entirely from scratch, going into production 9 months after the first specification meeting and controlling their multiple winery and logistics operations; Then of course sticking with them as they grew into the largest winery company in New Zealand. Or Omega seafood, doing the exact same, but for a shellfish processing company. Or designing electronics and drivers for another local company Vinwizard making them the leading player in Wine Tank Control systems. The systems I design are open (you own the IP to use without restriction) and will be built to interface with all modern systems. I work with everything from low level sensors, PLCs/SCADA equipment, SQL database servers serving hundreds of PCs, all the major operating systems and then way down the stack to designing electronics and sensors.
The Company can also work with your current staff or contractors to get the most out of your existing systems by integrating them together or adding missing functionality; I can do this no matter what the manual says is possible, tailoring, low, or zero maintenance systems to fit your company’s business model. The design files and source code are always made available for the customer to own so they can work license free with any number of users, share with other clients or even pass to another contractor, all to ensure no lock down is ever made.
Where possible, and with the customers consent, I also release these designs (or parts of them) to allow other engineers and interested parties improve their designs or just learn from our mistakes.
The company also does a lot of private research and development down various paths that sometimes lead to workable products (and quite often not) Roving Dynamics is located in Blenheim which is in the heart of New Zealand.
Publishing
Ok, this part is a bit of an exaggeration, and you seriously wouldn’t want me as your next publisher, but I do publish my own novels, most of which currently fantasise about technology, people, politics and the future. It really is a bit of a learning experience as I journey through the minefield of the current state of the publishing world, making every newbie author mistake along the way, and I expect the ROI to be lousy!
I have written four books, the first was a series of three books part of The Summer of Reasoning trilogy, available as three paperbacks or an e-book. I have now released the first book in the trilogy, The Phoney War, as a free download.
My newest book, A Level of Consciousness, is a stand-alone techno-thriller available on-line everywhere in e-book or paperback. Check the book links, and follow the progress (or lack thereof) of becoming an author in my continuing blog.
