Contract-based product development and project management. I started Momentum Engineering, LLC in 2007 and have used it intermittently, since then, to drive results in a range of industries:• Medical device: airway management, orthopedics, electrosurgery, intraoperative navigation• Off-road 4WD vehicle components• Consumer products and consumer electronics

• Managed technology development projects with external researchers and clinicians • Structured the Ideation project portfolio to align with 4 internal business strategies• Customized and implemented stage-gate feasibility process for pre-product development• Mentored the engineering interns on the Ideation team

• Balanced resource consumption with the needs of $200M Therapeutic Apheresis business• Lead global cross-functional Spectra Optia projects from “concept to launch”• Designed, trained, and piloted new Design Control and business processes

Crosstrees Medical offers a suite of instrumentation optimized to treat vertebral compression fracture. As a project manager at this tiny startup, I was also subject matter expert, technician, and product support. I owned the development of the reusable bone cement injector system for use in the clinical study we did. I then owned the entire development of the disposable version of the same system, to support commercial launch.

I owned the development of the reusable bone cement injector system for use in the clinical study we did. I then owned the entire development of the disposable version of the same system, to support commercial launch. I also lead the design for manufacturing (DFM) effort and tooling procurement for all disposable, commercial-release components of the whole product system (more than 25 components). At Crosstrees, I also got to support the clinical study; attendind cases and performing clinical data analysis.crosstreesmedical.com/ Show less

iBalance Medical was an orthopedic device startup company specializing in High Tibial Osteotomy and other knee preservation procedures. In my role, I got to own the design and development of various surgical device components. I also worked on a future version of our bone implant design (and pre-clinical study) made from synthetic bone regeneration composite, via STL file and MRI image.

My efforts at Valleylab were in support of a novel electrosurgical development; the LigaSure Vessel Sealing System; (www.LigaSure.com). My contributions spanned from product development through launch, and subsequent product line expansions. LigaSure pipeline currently exceeds $1.2B annual revenue for Medtronic. • Lead technology development team effort to achieve tissue fusion application in cardiac surgery• Lead cross functional product development team in developing first open… Show more My efforts at Valleylab were in support of a novel electrosurgical development; the LigaSure Vessel Sealing System; (www.LigaSure.com).

LigaSure pipeline currently exceeds $1.2B annual revenue for Medtronic. • Lead technology development team effort to achieve tissue fusion application in cardiac surgery• Lead cross functional product development team in developing first open vessel sealing device with integrated fine dissection, hand-switching, and tissue cutting capabilities • Lead product upgrades project; realizing 60% reduction in standard cost of goods• Lead wildly successful process development effort to apply Tyco Electronics’ core manufacturing competencies (metal stamping, overmolding, and crimping) to disposable vessel sealing electrodes. This unique design architecture triggered long-term supplier relationship across two sister businesses and was duplicated throughout product family.• Technical Lead engineer or support engineer of five new open surgical vessel sealing product development projects from concept through market launch Show less
