Electrical, mechanical and software imaging system expert:» Guide product teams at Motorola through the design process including schematic review, mechanical design and software code review» Flex circuit design expert. Reached across multiple teams to drive common circuit and flex design. Aided in the co-design of multiple front and rear imager flexes to be used across Motorola smartphone products in 2016. Provided guidance and help to design all flexible (polyimide) circuit board designs across products. This includes design and validation of impedances, EMI shielding, stack-up changes, IR loss and best practices.» Created rules for imaging system design using anti-reflective and anti-smudge coatings along with other baffled lens designs» Mentored both junior and seasoned engineers in the all-around design of smartphone and accessory products

Electrical, mechanical and software imaging system expert:» Guide product teams at Motorola through the design process including schematic review, mechanical design and software code review» Managed all flex circuit design in smartphone product. Reached across teams to aid them with circuit and flex design. Aided in the co-design of multiple front and rear imager flexes to be used across Motorola smartphone products. (Motorola Ultra, Moto X, Droid MAXX, etc)» Developed software tools for factory use. One such tool was used to screen 8000+ ready-to- be-shipped phones, avoiding 200+ “walking wounded” units>This alone saved hundreds of thousands of dollars and prevented poor customer experience and retained brand loyalty» Automated the testing of in-phone circuits, validating imaging system using USB, GPIB, Python and multiple oscilloscopes» Design and validation of imaging system power stability, I2C, MIPI, GPIO, EMI,filtering, and controlled impedances» Provided mechanical team a re-vamped Droid earpiece logo concept on the Motorola Droid MAXX. Re-designed main light pipe geometry which the phone ultimately shipped with» Mentored both junior and seasoned engineers in the design of smartphone and accessory products

Helped design the first Android based smartphone and tablet at Motorola, which ultimately saved the company (Original Motorola Droid/Milestone and Xoom)Designed and validated the following systems:» Electroluminescent (EL backlit) QWERTY keyboard circuit and flex. This includes placement of keys, help with other mechanical design and tuning of electroluminescent panel/driver circuitry» Hall effect magnetic north/south slide detection. Automated a test which injects noise into circuit to validate noise immunity» Dead battery LED charging circuit with overvoltage protection. Additionally, tuned color and light-piping» Designed and validated LED camera flash circuit» Provided guidance and help with validation of imaging system. Helped to diagnose noise in the image» Designed and validated the worlds first round display system on Motorola Aura.» Additionally designed and validated camera system and a custom circuit to stretch display clock pulses (allowing the serialization of parallel display data using a Serializer / deserializer SERDES). This ultimately made the product possible.» Owned all flexible circuits, camera, rotator flex supporting serializer, flash memory, LED lighting and earpiece audio.

Display and Imaging System Design Engineer: Helped to design the first round display system» Designed a circuit and automated test to re-create and ultimately solve a “white display screen” problem which only occurred every ~2000 cycles» Design and validation of display and imaging system components including power, I2C, SPI, GPIO, EMI, filtering, and parallel (VSYNC) display and imaging interfaces

System Design Engineer: Hired onto the original RAZR GSM phone team to help with general support on current and future products» Helped to design and validate SIM card, flash memory, vibrator, USB, camera and display issues» Became an expert in troubleshooting FDI memory corruption issues across the RAZR franchise» Was the go-to engineer to troubleshoot "unsolvable" failures, no-turn-on, etc.

Completed the design of a battery powered, microcontroller based cellular telemetry device used for tank monitoring. Among other notable accomplishments, the following experiences and skills were acquired:• Developing circuitry based on the Texas Instruments MSP430 series microcontrollers.• Designing circuits and PC boards bound for electrically noisy RF environments.• Selecting optimal circuit components by factoring in price, size and performance.• Experience designing with both thru-hole and surface mount SMT devices.• Interfacing multiple modular devices for reliable device to device communication.• Testing, designing and repairing various 4-20 mA devices.• Creating schematics and multi-layer PCBs using Mentor, PADS Viewdraw and PowerPCB.

Computer Consultant» Assess customer needs and chose an action plan tailored to the client to save them money long term» Optimized all aspects of computer performance» Troubleshot and repaired numerous complex hardware and software problems» Increased network security and installed truly secure local area networks
