* Registered Patent Attorney* Admitted to the Colorado, Connecticut, and New York State BarsAs VMware's Sr. IP Counsel (2007 - 2023) I managed the patent portfolio development for software-defined networking and cloud-native applications, two of the most rapidly evolving in the tech industry. My years of experience spans patent drafting and prosecution, analysis, licensing, and litigation.I collaborated with inventors, outside counsel, and colleagues to identify key innovations and pursue optimal claim scope. I also performed portfolio analyses and due diligence for acquired patents, and assisted with legal matters involving claim evaluation, validity, infringement, and technical issues. I worked with AI-based analytical tools but emphasized direct engagement with source materials to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment of patent strengths and vulnerabilities. I am proud of my contributions to VMware's impressive growth of its patent portfolio to over 6,500 patents. I am passionate about strategic innovation management and creative problem-solving, and I welcome new challenges and opportunities in the patent law field.
