Led/mentored senior scientist team tasked with developing new sensing technologies applications for high-definition environmental characterizations to enable technologically advanced digital agriculture products. Closely worked with analytical team to generate data-driven insights. Drove and directed in-house new sensor systems development. Member of leadership team that established long-term strategies, budget forecasting and managing team operations. Collaborated with project team members, vendors, technical experts, and partners across organizations and interfaced with executive leadership. Partnered with growers, vendors, academia, and start-ups to introduce most recent innovative technologies. Oversaw deployment of sensing technologies as POC and at scales.• Developed and implemented high-definition sensing solutions that overcame challenges of soil mapping. Utilized proximal sensing technology to capture different characterizations at high-definition within fraction of the cost; the solution is in large-scale deployment over Monsanto’s thousands of acres currently. • Led team to support R&D’s need for rapid iteration by designing flexible platform where high-definition system could quickly swap sensors for customized configurations with patent pending• Evaluated multiple proximal sensing technologies and promoted business partnership between Climate and vendors; one of the vendors was selected as Climate FieldView Platform Partner
