I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that push the state of the art. I love the creative process - from design through successful product completion - and I thrive when working with the teams that make that happen. My specialty is in the design of novel imaging systems, especially those that rely on combined modeling and optimization of the illumination, lens, sensor, and image processing, including effects of the human visual system. I've designed solutions for a wide range of applications including miniature cameras for mobile devices, space telescopes, thermal imagers, security cameras, endoscopes, near eye displays, and medical devices. I've seen over twenty unique designs through to production, capitalizing on my expertise in:♦ System requirements definition ♦ Optical design and large trade space analysis♦ Design for manufacture ♦ Cost optimization for high volume manufacture♦ Tolerance analysis and as-built performance estimation ♦ Thermal analysis♦ Straylight analysis♦ Optical component specification and opto-mechanical analysis♦ Manufacturing partner relationships, especially overseas manufacturing♦ Design and modeling software (e.g. Code V, OSLO, Zemax, FRED, Python)
