Co-founded a company with mission to help motorsports enthusiasts improve, and build the future of motorsports tracking technology. Lead development of a hardware product, the “SmartGauge”, from ground-up through production, along with cloud software platform akin to “Strava” for motorsports.Started by bootstrapping and went on to build development team, raise multiple angel, seed, and VC rounds. Gauged market traction using mockups and growth hacks, then successfully took the product to market generating revenue and helping enthusiasts gain a competitive edge!

Designed innovative thermal solutions, primarily with liquid cooling, for major OEM’s in the computer and data center industry. Part of a small technical team that interfaced with customers and successfully won new business through building proposal’s, PRD’s, mockups, and functional prototypes. Some examples of projects and products:- Data Center Servers that eliminate air exchange and air handling systems, saving energy and increasing power density. - Supported business development with TCO models projecting energy and capital savings of liquid cool tech.- Desktop liquid coolers for CPU’s and GPU’s to reduce noise and increase cooling effectiveness.Special form factors like gaming notebooks with integrated liquid cooling to allow overclocking- Produce Ansys Icepak CFD models for system analysis and component optimization.

Educated undergraduate students in Thermodynamics, Materials Science, and Machine Design courses. Helping students succeed by teaching is also a great way to learn.

A dream opportunity which I supported labs research projects:- Implemented electronic motor controls and software for remote underwater robot arm to allow tele-operation- Support communications equipment for nano-satellites, signal attenuation and performance tests

Equipped a small boat with GPS guided controls and sensors such as multi-beam & doppler sonar instruments for creating ocean floor maps autonomouslyDesigned, implemented, and tested hardware, embedded electronics, and controls for propulsion system and autonomous trajectory controller for marine vessel navigationSolved many issues including corrosion of materials in a marine environment, marine power system design, and thermal cooling electronics in sealed enclosures
