Director of Manufacturing / Research Scientist

• Jan 2019 - Oct 2020

• Developed initial prototype of a miniature, wearable IR spectrometer. • Modeled optical performance of assembly in Python to determine design specifications. • Proposed and designed a Monte Carlo simulation of photon transmission in human tissue to estimate signal-to-noise ratio of target analyte (Python, C).• Automated configuration, deployment, scaling (map-reduce to 1000s of cpus), and teardown of AWS EC2 instances with visualization of simulation results in Python.

Co-founder

• Jul 2014 - Jan 2019

• Launched website and online marketing campaign resulting in over $200K in revenue. • Led the writing of seven grant applications resulting in $500K in federal research funding. • Developed and scaled production of advanced filter material for medical diagnostics. • Interviewed 100s of potential customers to test value propositions. • Developed Python packages for automation of filter defect detection, modeling and visualization of 3D light diffraction effects to debug manufacturing processes, and automation of bacterial culture plate colony counting (interactive labeling and detection).
