I'm a high-energy pragmatist with a penchant for building new embedded platforms. - Project leadership, team formation and NPI - Optimized hardware platform architecture and design - User experience (customer, technician and manufacturer) - Interactive wearable, wireless and LED display systems architecture In my free time I create technology that helps people to connect in the physical world instead of through an LCD.
Sparking life into your projects. - Working side-by-side with a team of experts implementing: -- System architecture and BOM tweaks for high-volume production -- Secure local and IoT firmware updates -- Bare-metal to efficient RTOS + GUI framework usage -- Low power HW and FW design - Project planning and management to ensure your schedule is maintained. -- We use Confluence, JIRA, other tools as necessary.
Building you a new foundation. - Introduced Agile and Waterfall project management fundamentals to keep project on track. - Introduced GitHub Project/Issues/PR frameworks, vetted popular PM tools and created knowledge base. - Directly improved custom PCBAs, created factory calibration fixture Mech/HW/FW, re-wrote product firmware to take advantage of RTOS features, build system, and secured FW updates. - Drove DFM, manufacturing of PCBs and part sourcing with overseas and domestic partners.
Keeping your medicine in tune and on time. - Introduced Agile and Waterfall project management fundamentals to keep project on track. - Introduced and trained grad students and larger team on GitHub Project/Issues/PR frameworks. - Designed original electromechanical integrations, created system HW and FW architecture. - Drove DFM, manufacturing and part sourcing for PCBs and mechanical assemblies.
- Implemented new bootloader implementing ECDSA authentication, adding security to vulnerable motor and sensor boards to prevent intrusion by malicious hackers and improve customer safety - Developed firmware for rower, bike+, and soon to be released new products - Created and drove mfg of internal testing tools to automate hardware, firmware, and software testing reducing errors and saving time previously spent in manual testing; tools were immediately employed by QA team - Collaborated with Android SW teams to tailor solutions ensuring best user experience
- Designed and implemented new hardware platform for industrial ambient light sensor product. - Wrote base firmware package for the same.
- Implemented software (Python GUI with real-time face-tracking), firmware (C), and hardware (STM32 over CDC) package successfully delivering temperature sensor product within 30 days - Implemented reliable occupancy detection platform using cost-effective RADAR sensor; modeled FOV in CAD to drive accurate/repeatable testing
