Advising startups and established companies on how to develop hardware and electronics products for vision systems and augmented reality.• Hands on technical lead who works with a multidisciplinary team to get customer products through the stages of development. • Works with customer stakeholders to understand product needs and create a product requirements document (PRD).• Uses a systematic approach to development by following the EVT, DVT, PVT development method. • Produces prototypes both in-house and through the VX supply chain.• Oversees solution implementation and validation testing.I also serve as SAM/GSA registered subject matter expert (SME) for government funded research projects and consult on technical matters for market research studies.

As a leading hardware developer in augmented reality, VX offers full-service system integration of custom AR/XR/MR technology. Our fully equipped lab and manufacturing facility are capable of producing metal, plastic, and optical components. We also produce PCB assemblies, and wire harnesses. This enables our engineers to develop and test designs quickly so that we can get our customers to market faster. We offer Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, prototyping/assembly, and supply chain oversight.

I served as an Advisory Board Member for the Engineering Design Program at PSSC for 10 years. I was the chair advisor for the 2012/2013 academic year.

I worked with DAQRI's executive team to advised direction, coordination, and oversight of mechanical engineering, industrial design, manufacturing, and hardware. • Guided the DAQRI engineering teams in the hardware development of the DAQRI Smart Glasses, DAQRI Smart Helmet, and branded accessories. • Created successful industrial designs used for the production versions of their products. • Advised on systems engineering for intrinsic and extrinsic calibration for production assembly and servicing of the DAQRI Smart Helmet. • Transitioned DAQRI to use industry best practices for product development. This included the use of revision control, intermediate file exchange between teams, and manufacturing package creation. • Aided the engineering teams on DFM/DFA for ODM production. The DAQRI Smart Helmet was featured in the 2016 CES Intel keynote.DAQRI launched the Smart Glasses at CES 2017 and were featured in the Intel booth.

As the Creative Director of 1066 Labs, I was responsible for the Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, UX, and prototype fabrication teams. Acquired by Daqri LLC, 1066 Labs was a leader in the head mounted display industry. Everything was engineered and manufactured in-house, from hardware design, optical-mechanical integration, and electro-mechanical support, to mechanical engineering, industrial design, and visual design. Our goal was to provide the best interactive, audio, video and tactile product experience. We shipped many influential electro-mechanical and opto-mechanical consumer products. Past innovations have advanced consumer electronics start-ups, Fortune 500 companies and Formula One dynasties.
