Disruptive systems solution innovator with strong discovery- and entrepreneurial skills. Holder of 30+ US patents. Strong leader (management is "doing things right" but leadership is "doing the right things"). I never just accepting the usual "the customer asked for..." but always go to observing, questioning and analyzing to get the deepest understanding of the customer's real problems. Inadequate understanding of the problem-set is a prime killer of any business strategy.I always respectfully challenge conventional wisdom and the lethal "knee -jerk" reactions and group thinking to build a stronger case.Deep understanding of a problem is the hard work and takes 90% of the the total effort in fostering an innovative solution. The remaining 10% is the creative process where the problem is transformed and abstracted to miraculously connect seemingly disjoint tricks, dots and tools from a wide variety of disciplines.Success is the far side of failure, but always try to fail fast and cheap using little bets.My favorite play-field is to optimize complex systems with signal and power conversion chains spanning multiple domains (analog, digital, mechanical, thermal etc.). However, I enjoy learning new tricks.Specialties: Audio systems (tranducers, amplifiers, analog & digital processing), Mixed-signal circuits/ICs and systems, sigma-delta/PWM modulation techniques, system modelling & system dynamics,Oversampled ADC/DACs, Chaotic systems, Digital Signal Processing.
