Across the complete system
I am a PhD bioengineer, company founder, and systems engineer with more than two decades of experience developing multidisciplinary technology.
Much of my work has centered on physiological sensing: understanding a physical signal, designing the analog and embedded system around it, and carrying the result into usable software and production. More recently, I have applied the same systems approach to distributed infrastructure for AI agents.
Embedded systems
Electronics, firmware, wireless communications, power architecture, and device-level system integration.
Product development
Prototype-to-production engineering, manufacturing partners, ISO 13485, verification, and regulatory coordination.
Software and infrastructure
Distributed device systems, APIs, automation, computer vision, telemetry, evaluation, and applied AI agents.
Selected experience
