San Francisco, California, Us

• Led hardware team to scale during a critical growth phase, taking the Enso Gen 2from early prototype to market launch.• Built and managed a hardware team (EE, ME, FW) through hiring, performancereviews, and establishing a culture of psychological safety.• Managed product validation, bug tracking, and engineering fixes.• Implemented a new product process, driving projects from concept to massproduction, while keeping on schedule and meeting exit criteria.

Washington, D.C., Us

• Supported scaling hardware team (EE, ME, FW) in people, product, and process.• Coached over 20 emerging leaders and helped define engineering roles andresponsibilities across cross-functional teams.• Oversaw product validation and debugging of existing products.• Developed a new company-wide product process, gaining stakeholder buy-in atall levels.• Resigned due to misalignment with company values following the leadershipchange to Marlboro executives.

San Rafael, Ca, Us

The world renowned Leadership Development program by CTI. 10 months of experiential learning to deepen and refine how I lead in the world.

Re-aligning my impact with my purpose.

Built the hardware team executing three v1.0 Nest products (Nest Secure), provided technical and team leadership in design, validation, and manufacturing:• building relationships with new partners (chip vendors, contract manufacturing)• designing new product architectures• implementing and validating technologies never before used at Nest• creating new design/validation plans and processes that were adopted across all hardware teams• employee career growth and development (within two years from date of hire, two engineers from the team were promoted to engineering management roles)Created company-wide NPI (new product introduction) design process:• from idea generation through to product end of life• detailed all design phases, exit gates, milestones, stakeholders, and dependencies• covered engineering, operations, marketing, design, legal, finance and recruiting Facilitated new Google learning and development program for emerging leaders in the companyCreated and facilitated multiple team offsites to help improve team dynamics, focusing on hierarchy of needs and resolving interpersonal issues in order to create a more healthy working environment

After revolutionizing what goes in your pocket, it's time to revolutionize what goes in your home.

• Led the system hardware engineering team developing the iPhone 5S.• Responsible for the design, implementation, and validation of the main logic board and all flexible circuits inside the phone.• Drove system integration bring up and debugging necessary for successful implementation of the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor• Directed cross-functional efforts to help debug and resolve stop ship issues

Cupertino, California, Us

• Drove the main logic board design on the new iPhone 5S, aggressively shrinking overall board area in order to maximize battery capacity (+12% increase in capacity compared to the iPhone 5)• Completed power budget analysis / DCR tradeoffs to support peak CPU/SOC currents of the new 64-bit A7 processor• Worked with the Touch Hardware team to integrate the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor into the product• Collaborated with all cross-functional teams (iOS software, diags software, product design, antenna, RF, reliability, factory test, camera, acoustics, silicon) to help resolve system hardware issues throughout development

Cupertino, California, Us

• System-level EE design on the second, third, and fourth generation iPod Touch, over 45 million units shipped. • Involved with all stages of product development, including: concept creation, investigation (system modeling/simulation, power budget, ERS documentation), design (component selection, schematic capture, layout), factory assembly and test (frequent international travel to the manufacturer to oversee and direct factory engineering team during SMA and FATP processes, assist test team in debugging online stations and increasing efficiency of test flow to aid transition to MP), system validation (testing power, signal integrity, timing of all EE subsystems over temperature, Si corner lots, etc), and providing support through product end of life (debug field returns, complete engineering post-ramp qualifications and support Apple Ops team to recover yield fallout)
