Achievements

Built a flexible, wireless, ultra low power medical patch for dialysis patients, with 11 sensors detecting multiple properties of blood noninvasively. Took device from desktop prototype I built and coded, through FDA submission, built and led teams in EE, firmware, mechanical, QA and software.

Cofounded Cinder, built a novel cooking device giving high end sous-vide-like quality to food, but without the water bath.

Built world's largest wireless sensor network, covering every parking space in Downtown LA, Hollywood and Venice. Grew the Streetline engineering team from 6 members to over 25.

Built the controller for the world's first strapdown antimissile seeker, stabilizing large, high frequency vibrations to microradians. Built control systems hardware and algorithms for suborbital and space launch vehicles, including first optical control simulation of Lockheed's version of the Webb Space Telescope.
