• Created an online dashboard for collecting and visualizing gas, electric, and water utility consumption data.• Made strategic decisions on software design patterns and full-stack software development tools to create scalable applications.• Analyzed utility consumption data and developed novel visualization methods for analysis that extended Google’s Material Design principles.

• Led the overall development of a second-generation powered upper-limb assistive orthotic device with an 80% cost reduction compared to the first-generation device.• Directed all software and electrical aspects of commercial devices (two generations) and grant-funded research projects, including fully robotic orthotic hand devices and an upper-limb orthotic device, each with 5-6 powered degrees of freedom.• Managed a patent portfolio of 8 patents, each with multiple national entries, and worked with legal counsel to respond to office actions and set strategic objectives.• Personally invented and contributed to several novel mechanisms for limb and joint actuation.• Managed and developed electronic systems, embedded firmware, mobile and web front-end interfaces, and cloud back-end systems.• Led development of a rapid prototyping strategy that resulted in 4 iterations of device designs and functional testing with 30+ users in just 6 months from project start.• Worked closely with business team to create R&D budgets, development timelines, and product requirements and communicate potential business opportunities and risks.
