Work Overview
I'm presently a Robotics researcher working at
Intel Research
Pittsburgh and the
Carnegie Mellon University Robotics
Institute
in the fields of sensor networks and autonomous robotics. Please see
my robotics page here and my
Intel homepage and
CMU homepage for more
details.
Previously, I served as chief technical officer (CTO) of the network
equipment startup (Zack Systems). Before that I was VP Technology of
a financial software startup. I've worked as a manger, programmer,
and consultant with a wide variety of firms in the fields of
high-technology, finance, economic forecasting, commercial printing,
and manufacturing. I have an Electrical Engineering degree from
Stanford University and particular depth of knowledge in networking,
operating systems, embedded systems, security, cryptography, and
distributed systems.
I've been involved with a number of startup companies in various
stages of development and have helped raise over $8M in venture
capital.
My career focus is on changing existing businesses, and building new
ones, by using technology as a lever to enable business model and
process innovation. I know that's a broad statement, but it really is
the impact of technology which I regard as core to my work
rather than the technology alone. To that end, I've built startups,
spinoffs, and pilot projects followed by full-scale implementations.
I've hired teams, done detailed designs, painted visions, and written
lots of code. I also have a
network of skilled colleagues and business partners on whom I can call
for advice, help, introductions, or outsourcing when necessary.
