The Engineer Behind the Innovation
20+ years building, leading, and transforming technology — from embedded firmware and precision instruments to global engineering teams.
Passionate Engineer. Proven Leader.
I'm a Senior Engineering Leader with 20+ years of experience architecting, scaling, and delivering complex, large-scale software systems across mission-critical domains including industrial IoT, medical devices, embedded platforms, and cloud-connected solutions. I have a proven track record building, mentoring, and empowering large geographically-distributed engineering organizations across the U.S., Europe, India, and China — championing a human-first leadership culture that enables managers and engineers to own decisions rather than dictating outcomes.
I have demonstrated success defining and executing AI-first engineering strategies that move beyond experimentation to deploy production-grade intelligent systems — including AI-assisted development, automated test generation, and predictive analytics. My software solutions span gas analyzers and mass spectrometers at Thermo Fisher Scientific, Osmometers at Advanced Instruments, and thermal control systems at inTEST Thermal Solutions.
I'm adept at navigating security and compliance frameworks including 21 CFR Part 11, IEC 62304, FDA QSR, and have familiarity with GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 principles. I hold a US Patent for an apparatus and method for controlling temperature in a chuck system — a real-time embedded thermal control innovation. I am a US citizen, a multiple-time qualifier for the World Math Olympiad, and hold a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northeastern University.
A Timeline of Impact
Led and scaled a geographically distributed engineering team (US, Europe, India, China) delivering mission-critical software for a portfolio of analytical instruments — iQ Series / iSeries gas analyzers, AutoFLEX/AutoSERIES flow computers, MAX-iR FTIR gas analyzer, and Prima PRO/Prima BT mass spectrometers. Drove AI-assisted development practices, Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC-UA, and SCADA integration for oil & gas, petrochemical, environmental monitoring, and biotechnology markets. Championed 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory compliance.
Led cross-functional teams to design and deliver modularized software for medical Osmometer devices. Developed network capabilities including audit trail databases, 21CFR11 compliance, LDAPs, embedded Web Server, OPC-UA Server, SMB network share, and automated plate instruments with Robot Arm control. Built CI/CD pipelines, established Agile practices via Azure DevOps, and drove cloud computing integration into embedded medical devices. Recruited, hired, and mentored teams of software engineers across multiple product lines.
Led design and development of complex software systems for Osmometer instruments using C/C++ on Linux kernel embedded systems. Designed a modular system platform (control + display boards) shared across multiple product generations. Architected RTOS (Nucleus) tasks for Ethernet, USB, audio, database, filesystem, web server, and OPC-UA. Built Qt/C++ UI with 21CFR11-compliant access control, LDAP integration, and SQL audit trails. Deployed software in 15 languages worldwide.
Designed embedded systems and control software — Embedded C, digital/analog hardware design, PCB capture, firmware debugging with emulators and logic analyzers. Developed the Thermo-Stream and Chuck temperature control systems, including the patented thermal control apparatus (USPTO #20080231304). Wrote code for Ethernet (embedded web host), USB, SD data logging, FPGA, and I2C on PIC32 and Intel 8051 microcontrollers. Built comprehensive automated regression test environments.
