* Provided strategic guidance to CEO and executive team on microelectronic systems, including ASIC development, affecting top-level strategy and investments. Reported company-wide electrical systems development progress to board of directors. * Developed highly integrated on-eye microelectronics using wireless ultra-lower power design techniques and state-of-the art approaches to heterogeneous integration and polymer-based packaging.* Evolved four separate product prototypes to clinical readiness, ensuring patient safety, efficacy, and affordability. Impact: treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction, relief from aqueous-deficient dry eye, and management of chronic glaucoma.* Owned in-house mixed-signal ASIC development (TSMC 180nm): taped-out on-time, under-budget, and fully featured. Personally executed digital. Supervised analog, RF, and integration. Led fab & verification. * Supervised all board-level electronic designs (up to 8-layer flex), including computer vision (eye tracking), wireless power & data transfer (NFC & proprietary), laser projection, user interfaces (LCDs, membrane switches), and electromechanics (DC motors, stepper motors, IR heating, solenoids, etc.).* Implemented best practices for direct reports and adjacent teams: stand-ups, retros, lunch & learns, issue tracking, centralized documentation, standardized components, shared APIs, and continuing education. * Managed domestic & international vendors/contractors to maximize efficiency and limit capital expenses.

* Led team of six engineers while reporting directly to CTO. Collaborated with software, product design, BD, sales, and customer success teams to ensure successful new product introduction and maintenance.* Played integral part in the acquisition of TempAlert by SmartSense, providing strategic hardware and firmware guidance as SmartSense integrated products from four simultaneous acquisitions. * Drove development of next generation cellular and Bluetooth sensor platforms.* Interfaced daily with CMs in Asia and Mexico to develop test plans and resolve quality issues.

* Architected and implemented hardware and firmware for all remote monitoring products deployed in the largest grocery & pharmacy chains in the US (100,000+ devices in the field). * Designed and implemented robust bootloader to enable over-the-air updates of both the sensor nodes and the cellular gateways.* Served as go-to FCC / ISED guru. Guided intentional radiators through FCC 15.247 certification (BLE4.x, BLE5, and Zigbee). Familiar with FCC measurement techniques, certification processes, MPE-calculations, permissive changes, and transfers of control.

* Designed and fabricated set of 50-mm cubic modular robots capable of reconfiguration using reorientable flywheels.

* Created system of 50 autonomous 12-mm cubic “Smart Pebbles” capable of shape formation through self-assembly and self-disassembly. * Invented provably-correct distributed algorithms for shape sensing, replication, and magnification. * Built distributed simulator to demonstrate algorithms running on thousands of modules.

* Developed numerous electrical, mechanical, and firmware products for a variety of applications: robotic arm controller, GPS tracker, remote tank level monitor, WiFi accessory, high volume automated test fixture, robotic gripper, automotive wireless key fob actuator.

* Led development of an implantable medical device for controlling an intelligent left ventricle pacing lead. * Designed digital ASIC (first silicon success) and associated low-power support circuitry. * Assisted with in-vivo canine clinical trials.

* Real-time Video Processor – Designed, coded, & tested an FPGA-based real-time video processing system. * UWB Radio Platform – Created 50 Mb/s ultra-wide-band (UWB) radio transceiver.
