Biography
I studied electronics engineering at Oregon State University and then did graduate studies in both electronics engineering and systems engineering at Colorado Technical University. My experience spans from project management, seeing everything in the big picture, to electronic design, looking at the smallest detail of the smallest parts. I have work experience in the following areas: Product development from idea to production; Microprocessor- and microcontroller-based design with focus on sensors, analog signal conditioning, and wireless sensor design; Failure analysis with prevention emphasis; System and component quality control test design; Algorithm development; Identifying areas for improvement in products and processes; Development of sensor standards and protocols. Licensed professional engineer in the state of Illinois.
