    • Developed advanced calibration system for an OTC wearable pain relief device. Device is new to market, and user data indicated dissatisfaction with present method. Provided rapid development of an alternate calibration based on a probabilistic bisection algorithm (Bayesian classification), which is currently in patient testing. Initial results demonstrate both faster calibration and higher degree of match to patient expectations• Developed 1/f ‘flicker’ stimulation pattern for same device based on a beat analysis of a classical music audio sample. Project intended to help delay the onset of habituation, which is a major barrier to effective treatment with neurostimulation devices.

  Grove Instruments

  • Principal Algorithm Developer and Scientist

    • Oct 2002 - Apr 2015

    Principal Algorithm Developer and Scientist, 2007 –2015• Led algorithm development efforts for a prototype noninvasive blood glucose monitor. Efforts focused on mining a large, complex data set consisting of mixed optical, physiological, and electrical signals. • Created custom Matlab and C++ tools to facilitate communication between engineering and clinical teams in order to identify, separate, and classify physiological variations, instrument variations, and true glucose variations. Was able to rapidly evolve these tools as the platform was shifted between prototypes having little or no compatibility with previous generations and permit rapid identification of optical and electrical issues during development.• Analyzed data from both in-house and external clinical trials, evolving algorithms to permit next day and longer calibration (unfeasible with previous generations of the device). Identified numerous elements of both optical and electrical design which were preventing longer calibration validity and worked with the engineering and clinical teams to propose fixes.• Met technical milestones which led to significant capital investment (~$20M) in Grove Instruments from a variety of sources, including strategic partners and private investors.• Principal Investigator on $3M NIH SBIR Phase II CRA grant titled “Development and Performance Evaluation of a Handheld Noninvasive Glucose Monitor”• Co-Investigator on 6 addition SBIR grants.

  Empirix

  • Software Engineer

    • Jul 2000 - Oct 2002

    Senior Application Developer, 2000-2007• Wrote C++ visual user interface for network traffic analyzer, including statistical tools to present high throughput data• Tool went from concept to deployment at over 100 customer sites in under six months. Earned industry praise for ease of use and rapid ability to visualize and drill down into bottlenecks and other transmission errors.
