Custom development (algorithms, processes, instrumentation, and other hardware) for private companies and academic institutions. Most recently, spent some time on augmented reality (AR) projects.

San Francisco, California, US

Led the effort to analyze of all aspects of accuracy and precision for Shaper’s core technologies. This included development of instrumentation, internal tools, and processes, amassing a broad knowledge base that serves future product development.Co-developed and deployed a computerized factory test system used to verify assembly steps and perform.

San Mateo, CA, US

Created a process for optimization of imaging heads for future products and to establish the viability of new technologies and ideas for imaging. I planted the seed for large-range electronic image stabilization that launched with Hero 8 and Max.Curated an internal knowledge base and facilitated inter-departmental communication of imaging-related.

San Mateo, CA, US

Developed algorithm and delivered code for a novel factory camera calibration. Led and coordinated a team crossing departmental boundaries to reduce variation in image quality with temperature. The tools and procedures I put in place are now part of the development process and have monotonically improved performance generation over generation.I also got.

Pasadena, CA, US

In charge of research projects in and out of the Lucas Wind Tunnel, leading a group of 4-6 people.Most of my time was spent on a project to increase the efficacy of the rudder on large commercial airplanes. We successfully tested this at full scale on a real 757 tail with Boeing and NASA at The NFAC's 40x80 wind tunnel. The concept was then flown on the.

Taught Ae104 (Experimental Methods).There is nothing like the feeling you get when you meet a youngster who is so full of ambition, tenacity, and raw talent. Some of the people in this class I would like to follow for their whole careers.And then there were the ones that made me want to go apologize to all my teachers for ever being a little brat.

What started out as "helping out" during grad school flourished into a wonderful paying hobby. Through many projects, I learned a lot and met a lot of great, enthusiastic people. Looking back, this really laid the foundation for my varied work throughout the rest of my career, where I enjoyed working on all aspects of a machine, enjoying various details in.

US

Worked on a variety of projects in the capacity of mechanical engineer/analyst, optomechanical designer, optical designer, and project manager. Projects included vibration isolation platforms, LIDAR systems, a portable digital microscope, digital indicator to PC electronics, software optimization, and hardware performance testing.

Pasadena, California, US

Manufacturers of solid state laser-based sensors. I wrote the user-end software to interface with custom acquisition hardware. I also managed the firmware specification and wrote test tools. This is where I got my first taste in optical design.

Performed feasibility analysis on gas centrifuge technology for the separation of carbon dioxide from methane. This resulted in a patent (US patent no. 6,716,269).
