At Run8 Patent Group, we are engineers. We exist to create things, to change the world, and to build value for the people around us.It just so happens we are damn good writers, we know a lot about patent law, and we have spent the better part of the last decade working with early-stage companies.So we design patent strategies and build patent portfolios for startups developing the most innovative tech in hardware, software, and everything in between.Let's build something together.

GarageXYZ was a web3 project that connected thousands of motorsport fans from around the world in the pursuit of supporting and discovering their automotive heroes. Advised by some of the best racing drivers and some of the most successful executives across the globe, we collectively launched drivers into NASCAR Xfinity and IndyNXT series in 2022 and 2023.

Interfaced with pre-seed through Series-C startups to identify and implement strategies for developing patent portfolios. Personally managed patent portfolios for approximately 30 startups in a variety of spaces, including: o Manufacturing – MatterFab, Plethora o IoT – Sproutling, Protean/StratosCard, Symphonics o Med Devices – Gauss Surgical o Drones – Airphrame, DroneDeploy o Food – Momentum Machines, Blossom Coffee, Pantry Labs o Web Platform – Estimote, Lark Technologies, LocalMotion o Internet Security – AreYouAHuman o Consumer Electronics – Crave Innovations, Tactus Technology

ME203 is a class founded upon an integrated experience involving need-finding, product definition, conceptual design, detail design, prototyping, public presentation of outcomes, archival and interpretation of the product realization process and its results. The class presents an overview of manufacturing processes crucial to the practice of design and enforces teachings by introducing students to processes such as machining, sandcasting, welding, and brazing, and then guiding students through personal projects employing these processes.As the Classroom Teaching Assistant for ME203 in the Fall of 2010 and the Winter of 2011, I twice managed this 84-student class by organized and maintaining more than fifteen coaching groups, many staffed by professional volunteers, designed to offer guidance to students on their individual class projects. I further aided in development and presentation of in-class demonstrations, met with every student regularly throughout the quarter, and managed student grading.

The Product Realization Laboratory is a teaching facility affiliated with the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University. The PRL supports design, creation and innovation through traditional machining, woodworking, foundry practices, plastics molding, welding, finishing, and metrology equipment. State-of-the-art computer-aided drawing, manufacturing, and prototyping systems are also provided.The PRL is committed to turning ideas into reality and to creating a nurturing community in support of that goal. Its doors are open to students from all disciplines, and the range of projects completed in the lab reflects this diversity. More than 1000 students register to use the PRL annually, and an estimated one in ten Stanford Students will step into the PRL at least once during his or her career at the University.As a Teaching Assistant, I regularly mentored students on topics of prototyping, CAD modeling, and manufacturing, both within and external to the PRL. I also taught weekly labs to introduce students to real-world manufacturing processes including sandcasting, welding, patternmaking, finishing, and manual and CNC machining.

Crave Innovations is a design and manufacturing specializing in consumers products. The company is currently in stealth mode.As an engineer with experience in electromechanical systems design and machine shop management, I designed, assembled, and coded smart PCBs and generated CAD models of sufficiently complete mechanical systems. I further consulted on the construction of a rapid prototyping machine shop including computer-numeric-control machining centers and subsequently fabricated product prototypes.

L-3 Communications, Electron Devices Division produces high-power klystrons, traveling wave tubes (TWTs), magnetrons, and other vacuum tubes for linear accelerators, satellite communications, and long distance terrestrial communicates. As an intern over two summers, I: developed software for modelling electron emission from non-gridded and multi-gridded electron guns; introduced and tested new manufacturing methods for assembling high-vacuum-tight (10^-8+ Torr) components; and designed and oversaw production of various assembly fixtures and jigs for klystrons and TWTS.
