Types of Projects:- designing, analyzing, prototyping and testing complex electro-mechanical systems based on client requirements. - performing mechanical analysis on clients' existing products and prototypes- design for manufacturingI lead an inter-disciplinary team (varies between 1-10 engineers/designers depending on project type) and have successfully executed and delivered on 11+ projects and counting. My role in these projects alway involve mechanical design and fabrication, system architecture and project management. We believe in the agile approach and have implemented this process in all our prototyping projects for efficiency and cost optimization without sacrificing quality and functionality. Show less

VG SmartGlass uses special proprietary optical films to dynamically change light transmission in a window. With a simple linear shift between 2 substrates laminated with the VG technology, a window can go from clear to dark. This does not use any electricity or phase changing materials and is a fraction of the cost of traditional smart glass. Learn more at www.vgsmartglass.com.Design, build and test various mechanical systems to translate a pane of glass and build prototypes… Show more VG SmartGlass uses special proprietary optical films to dynamically change light transmission in a window.
