Dr. Browdy is the President and CTO of OMS Tech, Inc., a mathematical and scientific software consulting firm. He has a Ph.D. in Mathematics and has over 30 years of experience in education and software development, and is also currently serving as an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Valencia College. Since 2007, Dr. Browdy has focused on the application of mathematics and software development to Earth Science and related disciplines.

Dr. Browdy has been a corporate leader in several commercial technical projects, including blockchain technology applied to science and business interests, satellite telemetry, instrumentation control, control and command system architecture and design, data acquisition, modeling and simulation, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), semantic infrastructures, database design, and cross-application data integration. Many of these projects took place while Dr. Browdy served as Director of Advanced Development for Equitrac Corporation, where he and his team developed one of the first tabbed web browsers, as well as a print monitoring solution used for many digital copiers and all stand-alone printers. He also served as Vice President of Research and Development for Interliant, Inc., where he and his team architected and designed one of the first web-based SaaS infrastructures for small businesses, including a B2B data broker.

Dr. Browdy has been involved in three global data sharing initiatives, and has received funding to work on various projects related to standards, interoperability, metadata, and networking. The three initiatives are the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations platform known as the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), the Eye on Earth Global Network of Networks (GNoN), and the National Science Foundation-sponsored EarthCube. Much of the GEOSS and EarthCube work has been related to data brokering and metadata in association with interoperability, while the GNoN work has been related to federated networking and interoperability. Dr. Browdy was a member of the GNoN Foundational Infrastructure Team, funded by the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) via the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), and has served in the following GEOSS capacities: Chair of the Standards and Interoperability Forum, technical liaison for the Data Sharing Working Group, member of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Operations Team, member of the GEOSS Evolution and Architecture Team, Manager of the Standards and Interoperability Registry, and lead for the data sharing team of the Architecture Implementation Pilot. Dr. Browdy was also a member of a research team funded by NASA to research metadata use within NASA according to the ISO 19115 family of geospatial standards.

Two global research groups that Dr. Browdy participates in are the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and IEEE. Within RDA, he is a member of many of the working groups and interest groups having to deal with brokering, data and metadata, semantics, and blockchain technology (Health Data Interest Group). Within IEEE, he is a participating member in the Standards Association P1931.1 effort on ROOF (Real-Time Onsite Operations Facilitation) Computing, serving as an editor for the standard being developed. This effort involves many topics, including security, networking, blockchain technology, and IoT.
