30 years of proven track record of innovations and technical leadership. Experinced in managing sophisticated high technology teams of scientists and engineers in both hardware and software development. A Research and Engineering Executive skilled in all phases of technology development from basic research and innovation through technology implementation in products through manufacturing start-up. The skills and expertise important for my new role as a technology advisor are listed below.Expertise in machine denomination and authentication and sensor designWith an extensive professional background spanning over 30 years, I possess a wealth of unique expertise in machine denominations, and authentication of banknotes and coins. Throughout my career, I have led highly skilled technical research and development teams that have engineered a wide collection of banknote and coin sensors. These sensors encompass various technologies such as optical, magnetic, ultrasonic, capacitive, mechanical, and more. Our approach has consistently embraced a 'cradle-to-grave' philosophy, encompassing design, prototype fabrication, collaboration with suppliers for sensor manufacturing, and ongoing technical support throughout the sensor's entire lifecycle. Expertise in forensic evaluation of banknotes and coinsMy proficiency in analysis goes beyond the theoretical, as I have hands-on experience in conducting experiments, sample evaluation, senor testing and forensic evaluations of banknotes and coins. My involvement encompasses both low and high-speed banknote authentication systems, catering to notes fed short edge first as well as long edge first. In the realm of coins, I have worked extensively with both low-speed coin acceptors and high-speed coin sorters.Specialties: Engineering and Technology LeadershipEmployee Development & RetentionP&L Oversight/Financial Performance International Business experienceHigh Level Contract NegotiationsPresentation and Public Speaking SkillsProject Planning and Implementation
