I have experience in testing of Advanced Materials for high-performance, wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors for environmental stresses across a range of application environments. I pivoted from this work toward electronics at the PCB-level given the complex PCBs used in device / materials validation. This led me to inefficiencies of CAD applications to address the complexity and eventually to team up with CAD developers to address the complex needs of modern electronics which is always ahead of the Software used to implement these devices. RF, Microwave and High Speed digital are only a slice of the materials and applications which stress Electronics CAD applications to their limits but with the right combination of industry knowledge and Software Engineering proficiency, I aim to bring CAD and Physics into phase or one step closer to one another.

You can ask me about:
- Wireless circuit design and manufacturing including certification and validation processes and services
- Design and fabrication of PCBs and the process of automated assembly, programming, test procedure authoring, optimization of processes and design for manufacturability
- Modularity and reuse in the process of building products and the myriad advantages of scale thru reuse and risk-benefits, processes of achieving true reusability, modeling, etc
- Beginning and funding of new ventures, the physics of new products / projects and validation of the fundamentals of electromechanical systems
- Product-Market fit and the suitability of markets for a given product
- Procedures for converting concepts to actual products and modeling of a product's performance on-market, intelligence gathering, analysis of business fundamentals
- Materials testing and validation of semiconductor materials in high-stress environments
- Questions about the qualification of 'systems' to government and industry standards
- Power reduction techniques in electronic systems & power management for low power analog systems
- Amplifier and signal processing problems of an analog nature (RF, µWave, instrumentation & sensing, signal-path 'problems'
