I have designed, engineered, and shipped many products over the last 11 years. I now focus on the challenges of wearable technology and augmented reality innovation.
Here is a limited selection of past work, in chronological order.
January 2017
Sorenson announces the ntouch VP2. A new Video Relay Service (VRS) for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Sorenson, provides over 80% of the VRS services in the United States, where there are an estimated 1 million functionally deaf people.
I led the electro-mechanical, mechanical design, and industrial design of the camera and set top box. I am very proud to have been a part of this project. This is the 2nd industrial design of mine used for VRS. The other design is the TelyHD from January 2012, now used by Purple VRS.

My most recent design for DAQRI, the DAQRI Smart Glasses. I was responsible for the Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering as part of a 2 person team. We were able to release to tooling in 3 months.
Kyle Florek was the other design engineer on the team. Check out his work here: http://kyleflorek.com/daqri-smart-glasses-2

Sometimes opensource Maker hardware needs a good enclosure. I gave this design to the Maker community.
March 2016
I build a lot of models and prototypes as part of my development process. This designed and built a working pair of full-sized Astromechs for a client. It was one of the more fun projects I have gotten to work on. I designed it to be remote controlled with omni-directional movement.
I was responsible for the Opto-Mechanical and Industrial Design of the Smart Helmet. DAQRI is changing the future of work.

One of the many AR HMDs I have been involved with is the Atheer Air. I was responsible for the mechanical design, DFM/A, and taking the product from concept to production with the CM. This product has 2 of the most complicated tools I have had a chance to commission. One was a TPE injection mold with 4 slides, 2 lifters, and a manual pick out. The other was a 1.5mm thick optical shield for a custom blend of TR-90 with hot runner and RHCM .
In September of 2014 my team and I finished the mechanical design of the Highfive Video Conferencing system. I played a key role in insuring that the clients ID was maintained, keeping part cost low, while keeping quality high. Each of the external parts underwent rigorous design for manufacturing.
For 3 years I was involved in the development of early hardware for a major AR company. During this time I designed and built a number of experamental HMDs, test fixtures, and calibration devices.
2012 was spent directing creative and mechanical teams working on various parts of the McLaren MP4-12c human machine interface. This included the user interface, color-material-finish of the I/O panel, and updates to the electronic enclosures.
