Bio
Martin Brophy
I managed Jeff directly early in his career (immediately after he got his MS) at Electronic Decisions, Inc. in Urbana, IL. He was tasked with ensuring quality and reliability in our wafer supplies and with working on process development for a GaAs device fabrication line. He was a delight to work with and manage. He grasped new assignments very quickly and consistently got high quality results on time and meeting specifications. We both moved on from that work when the manufacturing was moved to another location. Jeff had the initiative to expand his capabilities onto the business side by obtaining his MBA after that. I highly recommend Jeff as a very capable engineer who understands business imperatives and the importance of completing his assignments on time and on schedule.
