ABOUT ME

What exactly do you do?
I provide product design, Electronics Engineering, and related services, focusing on (but not exclusively limited to) audio and MI products. My work spans the range from high end performance oriented designs, to very cost constrained projects.
My main skills include analog and digital hardware design, project and team leadership/ management, and Manufacturing interface.
I also have experience in firmware (and other software), user interface design, mechanical design, Engineering process implementation, and vintage gear refurbishment.

Is there anything unique about your experience?
Aside from my unusually broad range of technical experience, I have some knowledge and experience in many other areas such as direct end user customer support, business, graphic design, and even vintage equipment sales.
I enjoy working closely with Product Managers and Marketing to get the best results for the intended end user, at the target cost.
I have extensive experience communicating with both technical and non-technical team members and end users, and working with international Manufacturing and Engineering teams.
