I am proud to be an engineer, but I consider myself an Atypical Engineer. I bleed silicon chips and geek out over next generation technology trends. I've spent years in labs, am fluent in semiconductor industry acronyms, and technology challenges make me smile. I speak OEM, ODM, IOT, Home Automation, Bluetooth, SOC, LED, RC, and White Goods. So, what makes me Atypical you ask? I am that rare individual that understands the difference in requirements to communicate with technical teams, marketing teams, purchasing teams, executives, and sales professionals. I also relish the process of breaking into new market segments by methodically building relationships with key decision makers and developing technical solutions that result in design-wins that go to market. I have a very driven personality and will see a project through, staying engaged with every team involved until necessary. Clients like that I get to the very core of their needs and don't try to sell them on a product that won't fulfill every requirement to forward their products. Colleagues appreciate that my technical background allows me to fully understand the issues they may face to produce a customer product, and that I can offer solutions to overcome obstacles during the process. My superiors love that I truly commit and “drive” a product to market and do not require managing. I have a get-it-done attitude with any project I am a part of and thoroughly enjoy the progression. I have an analytical approach to almost everything, am very detailed oriented, and loyal to a fault.
