After Solo was mature from an engineering perspective I moved from being its' Principal Engineer to Product Manager. In this role my focus expanded from the physical robot to the ecosystem around the robot. This included supporting sales and marketing efforts, training of our field technicians & trainers, creating procedures for shop repair personnel, securing intellectual property via patents, meeting with customers, and working to integrate our deliverables to their existing systems.Additionally, as Product Manager I designed and programmed an in-house workflow software system to manage and track data collected by fielded robots. The software took control of data upon arrival at RedZone, through PACP coding, through QA/QC, through engineering metric calculations, all the way to packaging and shipment to customers. The software reported metrics to engineering on robot failures, competition rates, data quality, and pipe conditions; and to reporting managers on queue sizes, job status, data quality, and data coding rates. The software was written in Rails and included a Ruby job scheduler and out-of-band Ruby & C data analytic tools.

RedZone Robotics simplifies wastewater management by providing world-class robotic inspection technologies and sophisticated data-analysis software. While in a Mechanical Engineer role at RedZone I worked on both a large pipe inspection platform named Responder and led technical development of a revolutionary new autonomous small pipe inspection robot named Solo.Solo is the waste water industry's only autonomous inspection platform and can inspection 8" through 12" pipe (80% of systems) at a rate 3x to 5x conventional human-operated equipment. Before moving on to be the Solo Product Manager, I was the principal engineer on Solo. In that role I coordinated a team of mechanical, electrical, embedded software engineers, and technician on the successful design, development, fabrication, and testing of all iterations of the robot. In addition I was the lead mechanical engineer on the product -- designing the tractor sled of Solo which houses an integrated tether storage reel with levelwind system, high-force emergency extraction winch, two drive modules which powered the two coverage tracks, integrated batteries, and motor drive electronics.Lastly, I was the main point of contact with our manufacturing partner. In this role I was responsible for timely and accurate production drawing releases, ensured complete and accurate Bills of Materials, led testing and assembly procedure releases, performed on-site training and initial assembly checks, and responded to all technical issues which arose during the initial production build.

- Subterranean Research Group : Designed & built hemispheric 3D laser scanner for autonomous mine mapping robot.- Nourbakhsh Lab : Conceptualized and simulated a flexible stair climbing robot.- CALD Research Lab : Redesigned and rebuilt robotic walker for the elderly.

Botrics was a small CMU Robotics Club spin-off which aimed to commercialize robots and robotic components developed by myself and others of the club. - Designed and built high-speed mobile robot for multi-agent cooperative guarding research. The OBot traveled 3 times faster than any other academic research platform and had an integrated SICK laser scanner and on-board compact computation.- Designed low-cost colony robot for CMU Robotics Club research project in multi-agent cooperative communication, planning, and movement.- Designed low-cost robot kits for CMU's "Fun With Robots" classes. This class has been one of the universities most popular student taught classes for many years running and has introduced thousands of CMU students to building and programming robots.
