• As one of four core developers (growing to ten), owned all QML menu & configuration pages plus key C++ data-plumbing for Proteus Hub. My work on the routing UI, self-serve setup wizard, and real-time nav-aid parsing formed a major slice of the IBEX-winning situational-awareness system now trialed on 40+ vessels.
• Crafted a 25 widget QML library-Field-of-Awareness overlay, on-screen keyboard, ± dual counters, drop-downs, arrow steppers, three badge styles, compass-bias dial custom canvases for positioning the vessels radar and gps, re-used across 13 production screens and a 9-tab settings hub.
• Built a unit-aware display manager (C++/Qt JSON ↔ QML) that formats vessel dimensions, offsets, and warning levels on the fly-eliminating a class of hard-to-debug unit mismatches.
• Authored a 3k-LOC C++ 'Markers' engine that streams ENC nav-aid vector tiles in real-time classifies 70 IHO/IALA beacon & buoy types and pushes deltas to QML frontend.
• Built a routing & ETA interface (RoutingLayout) that lets skippers set waypoints and see live arrival predictions tied to ML-based speed analytics.
• Created a self-serve vessel-setup wizard (My Vessel, Onboard Hardware, Preferences, Tide Display) with lazy-loading ListModels-cutting first-boot configuration from 30+ min engineer-led calls to 10 min on-device self-service.
• Implemented a badging & alert engine (GPS/radar loss, range/gain mis-set, data gaps) surfaced via numbered & caution badges plus screen pop-ups.
• Ran weekly usability sea-trials on the test boat Radar Love and cross-plotter demos (Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno).
• Recognition: IBEX Innovation Award Winner 2024: judges praised Proteus Hub for 'distilling radar, sonar and AIS into clear situational awareness.'

• Junior member of three-person hardware team for Proteus Hub. Took primary ownership of the build process for 50 rugged Early-Access units: managing connectors, soldering, waterproofing, and repeatable assembly workflows in startup-scale environment.
• Owned the build line for 50 EAP units: organized the BOM, spec'd every IP67+ connector (30-min submersion pass), defined the O-ring stack, and hand-soldered sub-assemblies. Co-designed two enclosure revisions; Designed a connector PCB and carrier PCB with EAGLE for the LattePanda Linux computer; V2 adding an on-board thermistor and INA226 current-monitor circuit.
• Wrote a Qase.io-driven hardware test plan (visual, BIOS, NMEA 2000, radar, Wi-Fi, LTE, Zoho-Assist reachability) and trained a teammate to run it, freeing senior engineers for new feature work.
• Hot-swapped and rewired all major radar systems (Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno) on the test boat to prove Proteus ML compatibility.

• Solo geospatial engineer behind the first-generation 'Radar Vision Maps' prototype. Taught myself PostGIS, GDAL, and Tippecanoe on the fly to ingest ~1 TB of ENC and OSM data into a unified PostGIS database and distill it into a 1.5 GB vector-tile set for ProteusCore edge devices.
• Architected a PostgreSQL 17.4 / PostGIS geospatial pipeline that ingested 40 M+ features (~1 TB) from 30+ sources (S-57 ENCs, OSM extracts) into a unified database.
• Authored Python multiprocessing + GDAL/Tippecanoe tooling to normalize schemas, flag duplicates, and export MBTiles compressed to 1.5 GB while keeping key layers (Beacons, Buoys, Lights, Shoreline Constructions, Bridges, Moorings, Piles).
• Parallelized land-mask clipping/merging/differencing on a Linux server, cutting runtimes from 1-5 days to 2-30 hours (4-12× speed-ups).
• Collaborated with hydrographic offices worldwide to scope a roadmap for global navigation coverage.

• Joined a six-person engineering startup and helped take multiple products from concept to working prototypes across hardware, software, and app layers. As one of four developers, contributed from early R&D through customer delivery and contract manufacturing, which led to acquisition by a key client.
• Developed embedded C++ drivers for multiple ICs, including the INA228 current monitor and an ADS1115 ADC with thermistor circuit; validated output on ARCO's 48V, 400Ah test bench.
• Designed an IP66/67 enclosure for ARCO Marine's 'Smart Regulator' using M12 NMEA 2000, RJ45, and high-/low-amp sealed connectors; the enclosure passed waterproof testing.
• Created a custom marine wiring harness rated for harsh conditions, designed near UL1426 standards and capable of high-current draw; validated performance with no significant voltage drop under load.
• Supported DFM reviews with a contract manufacturer to reduce assembly steps, lower component costs, and ensure sourcing for low-volume production; contributed to ARCO's first 1,000-unit run and helped create a bed-of-nails PCB tester for functional validation.
• Prototyped a spring-loaded thermowell array to measure surface temperature gradients during robotic MIG welding for NASA EM32; designed stainless/brass assemblies with ceramic-filled cap nuts (rated to 1200C) to maintain consistent probe contact and fast thermal response.

• Modeled highly coordinated electrical systems and equipment using Revit for the manufacturing building process and facilitated model clash review meetings creating a built-in quality atmosphere
• Collaborated in the design, detail, and manufacturing support of the V3 Freestanding Emergency Department which is 60% more efficient than the code requires.
• Planned and designed the V3 circuit designed to fit in a modular format, reducing the electrical field scope to less than 20%
• Created electrical load calculations for 27 various room types in nurse and sub-nurse station modules of our clients Rehab Hospital
• Safety leader, responsible for leading weekly safety briefings to the floor assembly team moving the line operators towards a built-in safety culture

• Managed multi-national exchange programs in New Zealand, Cambodia, and Thailand.
• Coordinated cultural and religious sensitivity training, oversaw partnership development, developed and maintained daily team schedules
• Created and presented weekly biblical training in both a formal and informal capacity
• Mentored young leaders in a one-on-one context to establish healthy personal growth

● Fabricated prototype wiring harnesses for a low-cost induction project in preparation for assembly trials
● Prepared UUTs for tests and built several low-cost induction ranges with the prototype harnesses
● Modified ranges, scheduled assembly builds, and submitted the UUTs for thermal testing to complete the first phase of the low-cost convection project

● Planned and supervised the installation of an ultrasonic washer
● Conducted ultrasonic washer cleaning trials for “used” thrust bearings
● Created and updated Quality Department AutoCAD drawings documenting process changes and re-designed assembly line layout using schematics and field measurements

Participated in the design, development, and manufacture of metal automotive components
● Designed and programmed interactive templates in VBA to search for mistakes in FANUC and ABB robot applications
● Redesigned pieces of tooling on the assembly cell turn-tables to include poka-yoke flat pack sensors to mistake-proof assembly processes
● Presented poka-yoke projects to the engineering teams to seek further process improvements
