About & Credentials

A Task Force, Not a Vendor

Root Task Force is a veteran-owned dental technology unit. We don't sell scanners, mills, or software licenses — which means every recommendation we make is in your interest, not a manufacturer's.

Mission

Enhance operational efficiency, reduce chair time, and elevate patient outcomes for the practices, labs, and agencies we serve.

Independence

Vendor-independent by policy. We evaluate every platform on its merits and integrate what actually fits your workflow.

Precision

Military discipline applied to dental technology: clear plans, measurable outcomes, and accountability at every phase.

Command Structure

The Unit

A three-specialist core — AI product engineering, cloud infrastructure, and 3D computer vision — deployed per engagement, so you always work with the right expertise for the mission at hand.

Dave CarballeyraFounder & Principal

AI product and engineering leader with two decades across digital dentistry and enterprise software — from USAF dental CAD/CAM operations to CPO and CEO roles. Leads every RTF engagement as both product manager and lead developer.

Product lead and architect of an AI-powered design platform for a sleep apnea device manufacturer — authored the workflow and architecture requirements carrying each case from patient intake through automated appliance design to production releaseFront-end and UI lead for the platform: a unified patient portal and production back end, delivered client-owned and cloud-native — no CAD workstations, dongles, or per-seat licensesCo-developer of the AI design engine functionality that cut design time from 35–40 minutes per case to under 5 and raised designer throughput from 200 to 1,500 cases per monthFull-stack product development — case-management and order-fulfillment platforms with automated logistics and secure financial integrations

Bohdan VodianykAI Software Engineer

AI and 3D computer vision engineer — PhD candidate at Universidad de Málaga researching predictive modeling and 3D analytics, with published research and university teaching experience in machine learning.

AI training lead for a production design engine — specialized full-mouth restoration base models via transfer learning, tuned for real sleep apnea patient populations including missing dentition and automated bridge creationCo-developer of the design engine functionality engineered toward a 95–99% automation target, where every hard case is categorized, addressed in code, and folded back into the system3D computer vision R&D — light-field cameras, multi-view reconstruction, and mesh pipelines reaching 75-micron precision for dental and industrial scanningDeep learning for dental imaging — structure detection and segmentation at 97% accuracyNeural rendering — 4D Gaussian Splatting and NeRF for photorealistic 3D scene reconstructionML and LLM engineering — CNNs, transformers, LoRA fine-tuning, and RAG, deployed with Python/C++, OpenCV, Open3D, AWS SageMaker, and FastAPI

Combined Capability

The Full Stack, In-House

End-to-end system architecture and cloud-based application development, with every layer covered inside the core team — no subcontracting, no handoffs between vendors.

Product & ArchitectureWorkflow and architecture requirements that carry a system from concept through production release — authored by the same people who build it.

Front-End & UICustomer-facing portals and production interfaces — clean, modern entry points for patients, clinicians, and operations teams.

Back-End & IntegrationsCase management, order fulfillment, and production tracking — with secure logistics and financial integrations that move data without re-entry.

AI & Computer VisionDesign engines built on transfer learning, deep-learning segmentation at 97% accuracy, neural rendering, and LLM pipelines — tuned for real patient populations.

Cloud InfrastructureProduction Kubernetes on AWS — EKS migrations, containerized platforms, zero-downtime cutovers, and the core AWS stack from IAM to RDS.

FinOps & 24×7 OperationsCost engineering that has identified $791K/year in AWS savings, with proactive monitoring, on-call discipline, and a continuous improvement loop after go-live.
