Profile bio
About Daniel Ruiz
I am a problem solver, storyteller, and relationship-builder.As much as I love a good solution, I believe the key is identifying the right problems. I believe strongly in user research and design thinking as the pathway to identifying these gaps -- before working on a solution!My super-power is my ability to translate across domains and help bridge communication gaps. I speak hardware and software, business and engineering, old and new, form and function, and IQ vs EQ. I fuel this ability with empathy for all parties involved.Currently growing my knowledge in biochemistry, electrochemistry, microfluidics, and medical device development on the tech side, and the best ways to influence and encourage on the people side.

For my first job after graduating college, I joined this design and manufacturing outfit nestled in the Ozarks. Our catalog products were controllers for dc brushed motor applications -- mostly indoor electric vehicles, such as smart shopping carts and floor cleaners. My task was to take an all-discrete component approach to control and substitute it with an embedded micro-controller for our next generation products. I generated embedded and desktop software for internal use and for customers. This involved working directly with customers throughout the entire process: definition, development, and field support. Other responsibilities included development and maintenance of production test solutions as well as writing the application notes and user manual/data sheets.Tools: Assembly, MPLAB, Visual Basic, C, OrCAD
