My current position is at Kuva Systems, a startup based in Cambridge, MA which is developing an imaging system for detecting methane leaks at midstream oil and gas facilities. In my role, I worked to transition the device's manufacturing processes into large-scale manufacturing processes of injection molding and sheet metal fabrication, and to increase product quality. I have worked on cross-disciplinary projects with optical, electrical and software teams to address field failures and introduce new features which improve robustness and reduce cost for the camera.
