Embedded Files
I am an Engineering and Technology leader with over 30 years experience in Applied Optics and Embedded Systems. I have delivered innovative, commercially successful consumer and scientific products in diverse industries including Biomedical, Machine Vision, Chemical Analysis and Aerospace. Hands on team leader of over 70 product developments from concept to production. I have defined product requirements, operational flow charts, user interface design at the start of a project to the test and calibration equipment required to produce the product and finally the first article and validation qualifications performed prior to releasing a product. Proven ability to troubleshoot to root cause, pivot and persevere through difficulties that arise when bringing state of the art technologies to market. I have extensive technical leadership and manufacturing experience including direct supervision of all types of engineers, including Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Firmware, Manufacturing and of course Optical. Applied experience in Digital Signal Processing, Statistical Process Control, Design of Experiments, Failure Modes Effects Analysis, and Human Factors.
Equally proficient presenting at board meetings and technical symposiums while providing a unique perspective in both arenas. I advocate for increased public Science and Engineering knowledge in my volunteer time.
I also provide Technology Analysis for Due Diligence for Merger and Acquisitions activity and Expert Witness for patent and liability cases. I assess the capability of the technology and the engineering team under consideration for acquisition and how they rank compared to the state of the art. I can also ascertain if adequate efforts were made to consider failure modes, patent infringements and performance validations were executed during the product development.
