Founded Low Energy Edge Node Analytic Laboratories (LEENA Labs) to develop a platform for driving “energy efficiency” as the key value proposition for the next generation of consumer and industrial products. I have a deep passion to help consumers understand the value proposition and benefits of supporting energy efficient products both for themselves and for our planet. Working with key partners that share this passion. Working to build stronger, healthier communities based on advanced clean consumption technologies and sound government policies. The LEENA Home architecture reduces energy consumption of a typical home from 10,812 kWh per year to under 3,000 kWh per year. Saving both money for the consumer and our planet from harm. Harm caused by the massive waste of energy due to use of inferior materials, poor product design and unreasonable design constraints that exist in all home, commercial and industrial products in use today.Visit: http://www.leenalabs.com to learn more.

Carlsbad Ca

Startup focused on development of contextual analytics as a meta-analytic (analytics about analytics) tool for determining trustworthiness of advanced forensic, predictive and prescriptive analytic tools and analysis. Based on proprietary algorithms, contextual analytics provides a methodology to determine the trust index of advanced analytic processes used by industry and government. The underlying analytic context of Data-Information-Knowledge-Understanding (DIKU) processes and optimization of orthogonal behavior of advanced analytic functions provide clear insight into how well the analytics correlate to the findings of the analysis and calculates both a trust index of the findings, as well as identification of errors in analytic algorithms to improve algorithmic structures to optimize the trust index.

Joined Wavetek as an engineer while attending UCSD, primarily responsible for development of waveform and function generators. In 1983 developed the first Arbitrator Waveform Generator (ARB) product line and in 1984 developed the first ASIC based ARB for advanced, orthogonal control of time and frequency domain elements of waveforms. Developed the modern Arbitrator Waveform Generator architecture that is still in use today.

Pasadena Ca

Joined the Voyager spacecraft science team at Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Cognitive Engineer responsible for the supporting test and integration of the Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS) science instrument. Within six months also assumed responsibility for the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) instrumentation and performed integration of both science instruments on the Voyager spacecraft. Responsibilities included pre-launch and post-launch test and integration of science instrumentation. Also, tasked with Flight Data System (FDS) and launch vehicle integration and test. Worked closely with principle investigators at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Caltech, JPL, and TRW Space Systems.
