I designed, prototyped and prepared for mass production a cellphone stand with selfie screen in 90 days. We shot a Vlog every week and I posted on X/Twitter results of the effort every day.

I founded a product design, consulting, and intellectual property company with the mission to invent technologies that make good coffee more accessible. Notable projects include:

As Limitless's first Head of Hardware, I took the Pendant from concept to mass production in under a year. Limitless was acquired by Meta less than a year after that.

I was employee #5 at R-Zero and built our hardware engineering team as well as scaled manufacturing through three rounds of venture capital financing. R-Zero designs and manufactures UVC disinfection systems for schools, senior care, medical, and government facilities. Some projects include:

R-Zero Arc

The Arc is a floor standing UVC device designed to disinfect a room with 99.99% efficacy in under 7 minutes with 400x less waste than a comparable cleaning using chemicals. I owned manufacturing bringup and scaling at our contract manufacturer in San Jose California. I also created quality control and engineering best practices for R-Zero’s growing team. The Arc won an International Design Excellence Award.

R-Zero Beam

The Beam is an upper-room UVC system designed to disinfect the upper layer of air in a room thus reducing bioburden and increasing the effective air exchange. I lead the technical team for this product as well as serving as senior engineer on the project, going from concept to market in under 9 months. The Beam won the Red Dot Design Award.

R-Zero Vive

The Vive is a 222nm far-UVC product that disinfects both air and surfaces while being safe for human occupancy. I managed my team’s development of this product while also leading R&D efforts into new (as yet unreleased) products and technologies. The Vive won the Red Dot Design Award.

Lead product design engineer for the Ode Brew Grinder ($1.2M+ in presales, winner of SCA Best New Product, Red Dot Design award winner 2022)

Product designer for Shimmy Coffee Sieve (concept, user testing, prototyping, design for manufacturing).
