E. Bruce Shankle III
E. Bruce Shankle III (Raleigh, NC) was the founder of BA3, LLC a software development and consulting company specializing in computer graphics on mobile platforms. BA3 is best known as the first company to bring true synthetic vision to the iPad cockpit interface, enabling aircraft pilots unprecedented situational awareness at extremely low costs. BA3 is now focused on continuing the effort to increase situational aware for pilots and navigators in aviation and other industries with our global mapping engine technology.
Bruce grew up on a small farm in rural North Carolina where he spent summers bailing hay and doing his best to avoid serious injury working cattle. In a school raffle, as chance would have it, he won a small personal computer. A Texas Instruments 99/4A which ignited his passion for programming.
Now Bruce is a recognized author, musician, pilot, and father who spends as much time as possible being a computer programmer.
