Engineering
Developer of solutions to hard problems, from space constrained tiny mechanisms requiring creative novel designs to unusual materials choices, there is almost always a solution.
We help you generate IP.
Architecture
You really can’t design your way out of bad architecture and trying to wastes a lot of effort, yet so many projects are focused on saving something that is shouldn’t be. I can help decide when it is time to re-architect with practical solutions that end up saving time.
If it has already taken longer than plan, the area under the curve for an architecture reset will likely be smaller than staying on the same path.
Experience
Depth in a wide range, initially a teen foundryman working in a family business I saw lots of ways to make something new and learned to wear lots of hats. Then to engineering the highest tech optical semiconductor capital equipment, with fast servo motors and air bearings, and on to life sciences, defense, and telecom, I have probably seen the problems that you want to solve.
What units do you use? mils, thou, microns, tenths, angstroms, gigs, tons, newtons?
The last submillimeter mechanisms I designed had 100um features.
Visual Design
Ideation gun for hire, a new perspective to sell your ideas using the “wonders” of 3 dimensional computer assisted design. ;)
UI/UX Design
My wide network of designers and human factors experts will help you create a product that is as beautiful as it is practical.
Development
The gamut of rapid prototypes to demonstrate proof of concept on a bench to finished and ready to market devices is where I thrive. It is development, once the research has identified the principles, technologies, and solutions needed.
