At SV Robotics, I was involved from the initial founding of the company, playing a role in creating the company narrative, brand, and operations strategy. In addition, as the consulting software engineer,
I advised on investments in software engineering, as well as the design of the software engineering curriculum. The business grossed nearly 100k per year at the end of my term and over the next two years would grow to over a quarter-million per year.

• Advised on the company narrative, crafting a narrative around the formation of the company and the retention of the SV Robotics Name
• Performed behavioral interviews for potential members of executive staff
