What type of engineer am I...?
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a ‘fringe engineer’.
​
Let me explain...
​
A piece of engineering is considered amazing if it does what is supposed to do:
1) Consistently
2) Under most circumstances
3) While working with other pieces of engineering
​
An engineer who is knowledgeable and detail oriented can usually achieve (1) and (2).
Not (3).
​
For that you need to have "fringe knowledge" - a good sense of what is on the other side, how and why the system works, and how your engineering fits in.
​
BS: Aeronautical – Out of the box thinking, environmental awareness
MS: Mechanical – Bring the product to life! Ergonomics, natural feel and motion
PhD ABD: Microsystems – Make it small and high quality
All involved mechanical, electrical, software and test engineering!
Mission
Use technology to drive better outcomes for individuals facing a range of hazardous challenges. I strive to achieve this by providing people with the tools they need to take control of their health and situational awareness.
This can help them to live more fulfilling and productive lives.
Whether through personalized coaching and support, or cutting-edge technology, I am committed to helping individuals achieve their best possible outcomes.
Vision
The best way to create impactful technology is to embrace nature as our guide. I look at natural systems and processes, and use them as inspiration for designing simple and elegant solutions. My focus is on accessibility, and I strive to make technology available to as many people as possible, regardless of their technical expertise or background. I believe that technology should be intuitive, easy, and enjoyable for everyone to use.
