Early years of Exosite required many hats to be worn with a small and efficient team split between Minneapolis and Taiwan. During this time my focus was on supporting customers on our product, managing customer NRE projects, device and application development, product planning, creating product content, and customer onsite product integrations. In addition I was also involved with office management, administration of internal tools and business accounts, pre-sales meetings and early customer engagement, marketing needs, trade-shows, and investor relations. This is the time in which Exosite made a name in the marketplace as an IoT Platform leader and captured many key customers.

Supported Logic PD's new business unit as an Applications Engineer - essentially working with almost all of Logic PD's small form-factor computing modules (Card Engines or System on Modules). These SOMs had chips such as Intel PXA270, Sharp ARM LH7A404, and TI OMAP 35x. This included pre-sales support, schematic design reviews, WindowsCE and bootloader support, creating or fixing drivers such as USB, PCMCIA/CF, Touch, and LCD. During this time, became an expert at LCD integration, running contracts to design and build LCD cabling to integrate customer LCDs to the LogicPD modules and write any software updates required to run that LCD.During this role also helped to build and run Logic PD's Vancouver, WA office and Logic PD's Boston area office. Moved to Boston to start that office, working with our local rep partner on opportunities and working with newly hired GM to staff the office and bring in new customers.
