About
I’m an experienced mechanical design/R&D engineer with a passion for early-stage product development; with particular focus on medical devices. I am a team player who thrives in the start-up environment.
Having worked on several successful startup projects, I’ve demonstrated skills such as developing device concepts, creating early-stage proof of concept prototypes and translating early prototypes through the full device life cycle to the clinical setting. I have particular expertise in intravascular technologies and electromechanical devices.
I have a keen interest in adding value to the companies I work for through the generation and management of intellectual property.
