Led the build-up of Boreal’s in-house manufacturing capabilities and systems, and managed all activities of the manufacturing team. Delivered over 100 high-complexity electrophoretic instruments, 10k consumable cartridges, and hundreds of custom reagent kits during production scale-up phase.

Vancouver, BC, CA

Designed, developed and tested complex electrophoretic instruments and consumable cartridges. Performed extensive rapid prototyping, using in-house tools such as waterjet cutter, laser cutter, CNC mill. Named as Inventor on US Patent US 2011/0048950A1 covering this work.

Vancouver, British Columbia, CA

Designed, fabricated and validated a custom bulk molten agarose dispensing system, for highly automated preparation of slab electrophoresis gels. After I integrated the system into the Genome Centre's production group, it was used daily for several years, sharply reducing technician labour compared to the previous manual process.
