- Led clinical, scientific, and technical interactions with FDA, including pre-submissions and 510(k)- Developed, documented, and tested FDA cleared algorithms for heart rate (HR) and blood oxygenation (SpO2)- Led the algorithm team through multiple FDA submissions and V&V, including cuffless blood pressure (BP)- Responsible for clinical study strategy, design, and analysis; successfully completed 10+ IRB approved studies- Managed the scientific operations of the company, including the scientific and medical advisory board- Responsible for the quality management system and QA throughout all design and development phases- Spearheaded second-generation eQMS and improved quality team throughput by 1.7x over a 6-month period

As the founding CEO, I raised over $16M, including capital from General Catalyst, forged best-in-class clinical and strategic partnerships, built a strong leadership team, lead R&D, and set the trajectory for the business.- Developed business plan, profit and loss statements (P&L), pitch deck, and go-to-market strategy- Primary contributor to initial firmware and hardware development for the Heart Seat- Created a strong culture of excellence and built a highly performing team from the ground up- Created a positive company culture, resulting in multiple years without a single regretful departure

Expertise in machine learning, signal processing, and feature engineering. Design and create production ready algorithms using time-series sensor data and other data types for regulated and non-regulated applications.Formerly known as Hardware Breakout, I provided services for multiple wearable device companies, where I developed custom signal quality and clinical algorithms, embedded code, ultra-low power systems, project planning, and grant applications.

- Custom designed online store and blog, focusing on development kits and breakout boards- Developed iOS application in Swift for interfacing with MIDI hardware- Developed custom Android application for interfacing with wireless (BLE) development board- Developed comprehensive battery-powered Bluetooth Low Energy Booster Pack for the MSP430 LaunchPad

- Co-authored NIH R01 grant for reducing heart failure hospitalizations (awarded) and multiple R21 grants- Algorithm development for stroke volume and blood pressure estimation from ballistocardiogram (BCG)- Machine learning algorithm for estimating body weight of a seated individual (TensorFlow)

My research involves the use of compressed sensing for biomedical applications. This research will allow wireless medical sensors to have a greatly increased battery life.Development of laboratory curriculum for Biomedical Instrumentation taught to electrical engineering students at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The curriculum taught students the necessary skills to develop and implement custom biomedical instrumentation circuitry using open source tools. A final capstone project required the students to individually design and assemble an optical heart rate sensor using off-the-shelf components.

- Create short blog posts that featured unique and innovative work, selected from a user submitted tip line- Authored 51 posts, resulting in more than 500,000 views (2014 to 2016)

Assembled, modified, and redesigned embedded platforms which capture and record data in real-time from multiple channels to use as an input to onboard health monitoring algorithms

- Created a simulated model of the electrical conduction system of the heart used for verification of Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) and pacemaker hardware and software- The heart model was designed to match the electrophysiology of the human heart; it was able to accurately simulate a multitude of rhythm disorders and react to pacemaker/ICD therapy

- Validated multiple image processing algorithms and a Quality Tool for FDA compliant validation using MATLAB to create stress images for artifact testing- Statistical analysis of images to determine numerical thresholds for an early-stage digital radiography standard

- Motor control VHDL core – creating documentation, including functional design specifications (FDS), and consolidating multiple projects into a single reusable core- From customer specification through physical implementation – simulations, design reviews, and testing
