Exergy is a sandbox for creativity with the means to bring those ideas to fruition. Each new project brings more excitement than any other role I've held in the past. I started with Exergy just as Covid hit, and we immediately dove right into doing what we could to help out. I'm incredibly proud to have helped bring the Bertie ventilator to existence, and impressed with Exergy's support and freedom to tackle so many other unique and cutting edge projects since then. Some of the notable outcomes… Show more Exergy is a sandbox for creativity with the means to bring those ideas to fruition. Each new project brings more excitement than any other role I've held in the past. I started with Exergy just as Covid hit, and we immediately dove right into doing what we could to help out. I'm incredibly proud to have helped bring the Bertie ventilator to existence, and impressed with Exergy's support and freedom to tackle so many other unique and cutting edge projects since then. Some of the notable outcomes include helping develop a novel flow battery technology, and even gaining a Red Dot design award working with Convergence Medical Sciences. Show less

I created Millennial Motors to remove the barriers of converting existing motorcycles to plug-in electric.Initially, I wanted to build my own crazy powerful electric motorcycle, but found there was very limited public knowledge or products available to assist going about it safely, efficiently and cost effectively. So I designed a kit to help others convert motorcycles as well, but without the voltage exposure, design/fabrication/installation complexity and programming nightmares. In… Show more I created Millennial Motors to remove the barriers of converting existing motorcycles to plug-in electric.Initially, I wanted to build my own crazy powerful electric motorcycle, but found there was very limited public knowledge or products available to assist going about it safely, efficiently and cost effectively. So I designed a kit to help others convert motorcycles as well, but without the voltage exposure, design/fabrication/installation complexity and programming nightmares. In the time since starting, I fully designed and built a complete working prototype that's operational, street legal, and award winning now too! With its technology now proven, stay tuned for the first market ready model coming soon. Show less

At Garmin, I performed mechanical design, R&D, prototyping and testing of wrist heart rate technology, as well as similar mechanical design and engineering of radar products. I worked collaboratively with the very broad range of specialized teams needed to collectively design Garmin products, ranging from industrial design, software, and hardware (electrical), to manufacturing, accelerated life testing and user testing, among others. I helped evaluate materials, troubleshoot sensor performance,… Show more At Garmin, I performed mechanical design, R&D, prototyping and testing of wrist heart rate technology, as well as similar mechanical design and engineering of radar products. I worked collaboratively with the very broad range of specialized teams needed to collectively design Garmin products, ranging from industrial design, software, and hardware (electrical), to manufacturing, accelerated life testing and user testing, among others. I helped evaluate materials, troubleshoot sensor performance, and participated in negotiating performance tradeoffs with manufacturability and product desirability. Show less

My time at Enerflex can be divided into two primary roles: For the latter few years, I was supervising a multi-disciplinary team, designing and supporting the manufacturing of natural gas power generation packages. Prior to this, I supervised a reliability engineering team optimizing maintenance intervals and operating conditions for natural gas engines and compressors. I was also involved in developing modbus based remote monitoring solutions and assisting in the technical support of natural… Show more My time at Enerflex can be divided into two primary roles: For the latter few years, I was supervising a multi-disciplinary team, designing and supporting the manufacturing of natural gas power generation packages. Prior to this, I supervised a reliability engineering team optimizing maintenance intervals and operating conditions for natural gas engines and compressors. I was also involved in developing modbus based remote monitoring solutions and assisting in the technical support of natural gas engines and compressors. All of the above included support for both domestic and international applications. Show less

Remember Blockbuster Video? I'm pretty sure every store in Canada had one of our little desktop machines on the counter to clean up scratched DVDs. I helped improve their automated industrial scale machines that could handle stacks of 50 discs at a time. (Think of that giant videogame reseller who bought your used PS2 disc for $1 and sold used games for $20)

Designing automated pipe manufacturing and hydrotesting equipment.

Steam turbine and boiler maintenance planning, and distribution ground testing.
