Experience

I serve as the lead hardware engineer for defense and field-deployable R&D programs. I joined at a point when the company had little established hardware infrastructure for these efforts and built the embedded and RF hardware architecture from the ground up, taking an initial concept from system design to a working prototype in approximately one month. I then led the hardware redesign into a next-generation system over the following months as the effort expanded into a broader internal hardware capability.

My work spans embedded systems, RF hardware, electronics and PCB design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, supply-chain development, software integration, and field evaluation.

• Hold technical ownership of hardware development from architecture and component selection through schematic capture, PCB layout, procurement, bring-up, troubleshooting, validation, and iteration
• Design embedded and RF systems incorporating compute modules, microcontrollers, power electronics, sensing, positioning, communications, storage, antennas, and RF subsystems
• Designed and established the company’s electronics and RF laboratory as hardware efforts expanded, including equipment procurement and development of prototyping, characterization, and validation setups
• Build supplier, contract-manufacturer, and production relationships supporting resilient supply chains, prototype fabrication, and scaled manufacturing
• Support product deployment and field evaluation during live-fire military exercises, incorporating operational feedback directly into subsequent hardware revisions
• Contribute to government-contract software, technical publications, funding proposals, and multidisciplinary engineering programs
