I make ambitious hardware work in the world.
I build connected, resource-constrained machines from first architecture through experimental validation, manufacturing transfer, and team-scale execution.

Capabilities
Across the interfaces that usually break.
Electronic hardware
mixed-signal circuits · component selection · rigid/flex PCBs · power systems · RF matching · laboratory validation
Connected devices
BLE · Wi-Fi · I²C · SPI · UART · mobile/device protocols · cloud data systems
Productization
system architecture · DFM · test methods · reliability · design transfer · V&V · preclinical deployment
Selected work
Systems, not isolated components.
Each example separates what I owned, what the system demonstrated, and what the evidence does not establish.
Embedded bioelectronics · thesis
Commandable ingestible bioelectronic platform
Two design–build–test generations combining capsule-scale electronics, Zephyr firmware, BLE, mobile control, command authentication, power delivery, and electrochemical payload release.
- Owned
- System architecture, electronics, embedded firmware, wireless integration, power characterization, validation, and failure analysis.
- Commanded in-vivo release of a viable bacterial payload
- At least six days of gastric operation with the payload barrier intact
- Approximately −102 dBm staged in-body receiver sensitivity
- Months-long always-available BLE telemetry in device studies
Evidence boundary. Residence, authentication, and release were established in distinct experimental traces; therapeutic efficacy was not evaluated. This self-hosted copy is the author’s thesis document pending MIT DSpace publication.
Infrastructure · translational research
Long-duration connected experiment infrastructure
An end-to-end system for remote monitoring and control of custom devices in long-duration large-animal studies.
- Owned
- BLE hardware, body-area networking, C#/.NET services, cloud databases, analysis interfaces, deployment, and collaborator support.
- Supported experiments with operating windows up to 100 days
- Deployed to geographically distributed collaborators
- Enabled remote sponsor demonstrations and experiment diagnosis
Evidence boundary. Source and study records are not public because they include collaborator and sponsor-controlled material.
Technical leadership · platform engineering
Reusable embedded-device development platform
Shared firmware, protocol, mobile, build, and deployment infrastructure that turned isolated prototypes into systems other engineers could extend.
- Owned
- Originated the working architecture, defined interfaces, built reference implementations, integrated contributor branches, and coordinated system behavior.
- Shared C++ behavior across mobile and embedded targets
- Reproducible Zephyr and nRF build environments
- Containerized remote compilation and automated flashing
- Parallel contribution across firmware, sensing, and device-control work
Evidence boundary. Most program repositories remain private; the leadership claim is based on repository history and delivered integration work rather than public commit volume.
Operating pattern
Build first. Create leverage. Scale ownership.
- 01
Make ambiguity executable
Translate a research or product objective into requirements, architecture, interfaces, and a first working reference.
- 02
Interrogate the physical system
Measure power, communication, timing, packaging, and environmental behavior; treat failures as design evidence.
- 03
Create leverage
Turn one-off work into reusable modules, build systems, fixtures, test methods, and documentation.
- 04
Scale ownership
Onboard contributors, decompose subsystem work, review designs, and retain accountability for integrated outcomes.
Experience
From laboratory ambiguity to durable engineering practice.
