Quality lead and customer interface for driving quality requirements during product development and manufacturing. Responsible for achieving product quality metrics and leading dialogue with a key automotive customer. Developed innovative data analytics techniques to evaluate quality improvement activities and forecast future quality performance. Leveraged background in semiconductor packaging and analog circuit design to support fault isolation and root cause analysis of defective components. Demonstrated operational excellence via attainment of breakthrough cycle time in root cause analysis of defective units returned to TI. Transformed credibility and rapport with a critical automotive customer by establishing a technical partnership and consistently executing within a high-pressure environment.

Technical consultant for analog semiconductor packaging technologies, serving product development and design teams across Texas Instruments. Experienced in design, simulation, and manufacturing processes for wafer-level, wirebond, and flip-chip on lead (FCOL) package technologies. Consistently recognized for ability to recognize, evaluate, and articulate design trade-offs for cost, reliability, and performance. Led definition and development of multiple automation tools aiming to streamline product development practices.

TARP Racing focuses on automotive endurance racing, but also participates in a variety of other racing endeavors as opportunities arise. As the chief mechanic, I am responsible for mechanical fabrication and maintenance on most car systems. My experience began with assembling a rear suspension, and has since ranged widely from rebuilding engines, to designing electrical systems, to fabricating roll cages and aerodynamic support structures.

Researched and prototyped touch sensor technologies to replace tactile switches. Responsibilities included system design, evaluation or reliability, and cost trade-offs versus mechanical switch technologies.
