Used Xcode 9.x to 12.x, for software development, source control management via Git and unit testing (XCTestCase).
Used Altium designer for hardware design.
Senior Software/Hardware Engineer, Juno Lighting Group (2014 – 2016).
•
First to leverage smartphones and iPads using existing application software to integrated various control systems for
human centric lighting applications. Successfully used these systems to demonstrate complex but easy to use lighting
systems for architectural, industrial, and commercial markets. Trained sales staff at trade shows in the use of my
creations.
•
Developed proof of concept for an embedded Linux intelligent lighting control system that leveraged smartphones for
interaction with customer.
•
Swiftly learned the Acuity Android based control system to help train and support the sales team. This led to improved
sales in lighting systems for the architectural, industrial, and commercial market environments.
•
Designed, using smartphones and iPads, and using existing application software to integrate various control systems to
control Lumentix color tuning LED emitters to replicate, “Dawn to Dusk” circadian rhythm systems for human centric
lighting systems to reduce fatigue for second and third shift workers.
Principal Software/Hardware Engineer/Hands-on Manager, C3 Lighting Solutions (2011 – 2014)
Invented various software and hardware embedded/connected solutions.
•
Designed the software and hardware for one of the first remote DC power and control system for lighting for tunable
white LED lighting systems.
•
Leverage my inventions to develop first of its kind LED tunable lighting system for use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
scanners environments (clean rooms) and reduced the number of penetrations required into the RF proof chamber.
•
Sourced, setup and ran a small ‘pick & place’ line using the QM1500 and reflow oven in a lean manufacturing
environment, increasing profitability with just-in-time (JIT) technology.
•
Developed the hardware and software for a proprietary EIA-485 balanced line network with digital to analog conversion
capabilities.
•
Designed the hardware and software for a proof-of-concept cloud based connected Linux-based IoT lighting control
application with tunable white LED control and circadian rhythm.
