• Enthusiastic team-player • Introduces techniques to propel groups to shared successes. • Leads by example, mentoring, and creating vision. • Delivers long-term value through communication, research, leadership, simulation, development, and documentation. I am a leader in real-time embedded systems such as medical signal processing and civilian defense. I have detected adverse conditions from signals in surgically-implanted heart pumps, sensed real-time physiological parameters in arteries and built warning systems for civilians in war-torn conflict zones, alerting them to the presence of incoming bombers.I am honored my skills serve humankind. My mastery of microcontrollers and digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms such as filtering, polyphase multirate techniques, fixed/floating point, controls, and modeling elevate the lives of individuals and families.Working with medical professionals, it is my pleasure to look patients in the eye knowing we have done the highest quality job. When I read the news, I feel reassured knowing I have contributed to the nearly defenseless victims of war in the Middle East.I approach every project with daring: Where others doubt, my curiosity drives me to investigate. With my math and leadership skills, you can trust my team will serve patient and business optimally. I introduce new technologies few others are familiar with. I inspire my teams to create long term value through clear organization and documentation. We teach and improve ourselves, practicing communication and playing to our strengths, creating victories for clients while supporting the business's vision.I employ a thorough approach from concept, through research, prototyping, development, demonstration, deployment and upgrades. As a professional with a Ph.D., I research, then coordinate with project managers, my team and other stakeholders, and model in Matlab, Simulink, C/C++, Python, Modelica, Minsky, Javascript and Excel. This helps mitigate the riskiest elements early in the program and inform resource planning.I develop firmware prototypes, evaluate them in lab environments, and write portable, compliant code for final product use. I cross-compare with our models, cross-checking with systems and verification engineers. Then, I architect a "walking skeleton" prototype, in near-final hardware and lead my team to fill out the development and verification.That is how I maximize product reliability.
