Democratizing Gigabit Connectivity: Enabling mass deployment of fiber grade experiences at a fraction of the cost and time using our unique Platform-as-a-Service solution.

- Led the spin out from Smart Home and restructuring to a create a standalone business with ~$6Mn in ARR serving 10k residential customers, reducing OPEX by $1.2M and improving margins- Launched world’s largest mmWave mesh network in SLC to 100s of customers, achieving 20% market share and delivering on average >800Mbps with <6ms latency- As CTO, built up.

Provo, UT, US

- Led ~40 person multi-disciplinary team responsible for the development, QA and mass production of in-home connected devices, spanning hardware, embedded SW, functional and system-level QA- Launched the Smart Hub into mass production on lines in Mexico and China with tier 1 ODM/CMs, producing ~500k units per year resulting in 50% reduction in service.

Mountain View, CA, US

- Lead of a ~15 person team that delivered a mmWave mesh technology PoC demo to Larry Page and Google Fiber execs resulting in securing a multi-million $ budget to develop a prototype and test deployment as part of a mission to disrupt fiber-based Gbps to the home economics- Led system architecture & development agreements with tier-1 suppliers, resulting.

- Conceived the vision of leveraging WiGig (mmWave WiFi) CMOS chipsets to build low-cost multi-Gbps mesh networks to address the wireless fiber extension challenge (wireless FTTH and small cell backhaul)- Closed $1.2M VC (DFJ) & Angel-funded seed round- Led successful seed round execution including PoC development and several tier-1 operator demos.

Bellevue, WA, US

- Created Band 41 (2.5GHz TDD) and the led the standardization in 3GPP and GCF with contributions to Band 42 and 43 (LTE/5G bands)- Worked with Bain & Co as part of the strategy team that devised our 10-year business plan and network evolution strategy- As part of my focus on developing technologies to lower the overall cost per gigabyte for Clearwire’s.

London, England, GB

- Developed 4G end-to-end system architectures and deployment approaches to enable delivery of high capacity, low-cost per GB mobile broadband services, including MBS, mobile, IPTV, creating PRDs, RFIs and RFPs in support of the launch of our WiMAX network- Created 5-year business plans for our UK business, as well as for other PCCW WISP partnerships in.

- Tech lead of a team of researchers across the UK, US, Canada and Japan- Filed multiple patents in the fields of: radio resource management, channel estimation, closed-loop MIMO, multihop relaying and network planning; created some of the first patents on 4G relaying- Developed simulator platforms and admin of our multi-node compute platform to support.

- Clients included: Texas Instruments, Fujitsu, PA Consulting Group, RACAL- Provided SW development support and training to various customers of TIs C6000 and C5000 DSP portfolio
