As Limitless's first Head of Hardware, I am building out in-house hardware engineering capabilities while designing and shipping the highly anticipated Pendant.

I founded a product design, consulting, and intellectual property company with the mission to invent technologies that make good coffee more accessible. Notable projects include:-Blue Bottle Dripper (used in all Blue Bottle cafes worldwide), lead product design consultant-SharkNinja Hot and Cold Brewer (Red Dot Design Award Winner 2019), lead R&D consultant-Fellow Products Prismo Aeropress Attachement (runner up SCA Best New Product), product lead and inventor-Blossom One Brewer (features on Good Morning America, NPR, Fast Company, Bloomberg TV), product lead and inventor

I was employee #5 at R-Zero and built our hardware engineering team as well as scaled manufacturing through three rounds of venture capital financing. R-Zero designs and manufactures UVC disinfection systems for schools, senior care, medical, and government facilities. Some projects include:R-Zero ArcThe Arc is a floor standing UVC device designed to disinfect a room with 99.99% efficacy in under 7 minutes with 400x less waste than a comparable cleaning using chemicals. I owned manufacturing bringup and scaling at our contract manufacturer in San Jose California. I also created quality control and engineering best practices for R-Zero’s growing team. The Arc won an International Design Excellence Award.R-Zero BeamThe Beam is an upper-room UVC system designed to disinfect the upper layer of air in a room thus reducing bioburden and increasing the effective air exchange. I lead the technical team for this product as well as serving as senior engineer on the project, going from concept to market in under 9 months. The Beam won the Red Dot Design Award.R-Zero ViveThe Vive is a 222nm far-UVC product that disinfects both air and surfaces while being safe for human occupancy. I managed my team’s development of this product while also leading R&D efforts into new (as yet unreleased) products and technologies. The Vive won the Red Dot Design Award.
