Helping clients develop new technologies and bring them to market, including particle detection, CO2 cleaning systems for endoscopic imaging devices, optical system sales, and technical assessments of product feasibility.

As a technical leader in the advanced R&D division for half of KLA, I work with a variety of challenges that are centered around lasers and chemistry. The solutions we provide are used in our partner business unit's products for new display technologies, fine line repair of displays and PCBs (both additive and ablative), and silicon wafer deposition and metrology.

Head project manager, system architect, and leader of hardware R&D teams to ensure our products meet the needs of the display industry, both today and tomorrow. Projects include: - advanced technology creation and evaluation for LCD, OLED, and uLED display technologies, across the mass transfer, inspection, and repair process between thin film deposition and open cell - super high SNR custom imaging sensors and cameras - FPGA systems for mixed signal generation and for high speed data acquisition - 40 ton high precision motion control systems - data processing systems handling 10 Tbits every 2 minutes - embedded controllers and small processing units for distributed subsystem management - all fab and customer requirements to fulfill their mission

Fastback Networks is here to bridge the gap between where fiber is and where small-cells want to be. My role had three parts: - Build: Full responsibility for the supply ecosystem that procures, assembles, tests, and runs logistics on our products. This includes survival through the high churn, low volume startup phase and success through scale up to mass production. - Test: System integration using a range of methodologies on new devices entering the telecom market. - Support: Assemble a world-class support infrastructure to keep the deployed base in top shape.

Quevr was a philanthropic search engine that donated revenues towards environmental projects that we believed would make a difference. My time was spent organizing the team of marketing, art, and language experts - and to write all the software.

Founded in 1996, ML Optic is a leading manufacturer of high quality custom optical components and assemblies - lenses, prisms, windows, beamsplitters, mirrors, filters, coating products, full assemblies and more, are used widely in applications for biotech, communication, manufacturing equipment, and security.As the US presence grew, it was my responsibility to cultivate strong and lasting relationships with customers and partners to serve their needs - while also developing a stable and growing business unit for ML Optic.

Solar Alchemy created a proprietary process for converting recyclable paper fibers into commodity chemicals such as toluene. I was responsible for the engineering, tooling and operations required to support that chemistry, beginning at the lab scale and continuing through full scale production.

Orchestrated the development of the business plan, market penetration/growth plan and coached team through the CleanTech Open business case competition.Extreme Capacitor, Inc. developed a carbon nanotube based supercapacitor to challenge the best lithium batteries, with many benefits.

As head of new product development, I was responsible for all new and significant engineering for all product lines. Primary accomplishments were the creation of a high-speed Gen6 platform and the successful launch of the higher speed inline Gen7 tool variants. Organizational dynamics and team development were fundamental focuses in this quick paced environment. Regular and proactive interaction with the customers structured the basis for how and what we would pursue in that market.

My tenure at Nortel spanned a few different groups, including system level integration, software QA for various mobile applications, customer support, and beta/field trial execution.
