I’ve always had a passion for building things. As a kid, I'd even get in trouble for using power tools without permission, but I kept on creating.TODAY, I apply optical engineering to cutting edge technologies, positively impacting quality of life all over the world.I approach optical problems with an open mind, a genuine interest in the physical world and a mathematical brain. I like hands-on 3D problem solving and bringing optical expertise to the table for large and small companies, thinking outside of the box and finding common sense solutions for complex problems.KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:● Primary inventor or collaborator on 7 patents● High success rate on lens designs and builds● I’ve established a good rapport with multiple clients maintaining full product life cycle support spanning many years● Designed and implemented customized quality tests to improve the efficiency of our optical production processesSPECIALTIES:Optical EngineeringLens designsStray light/IlluminationDocumentationMetrologyTroubleshootingIf you're looking for optics solutions - Let's Connect
