Design Mechanical

Quick Synopsis:

More than ** years involvement with electrical, mechanical, and computer related system design and deployment with the last 25 plus years in architecting, designing, and implementing medium and large scale computer systems from concept through deployment focusing on “under the cover” aspects of overall system design. Positive creative and energetic motivator in directing multi-discipline individuals primarily in Electrical, Mechanical, Program, and Test environments resulting in easy to use and maintain complicated systems. Continue to maintain a close relationship with early adopters and specialty users: military, telco industry, and academia.

Current Activities (2009 – present)

• Completing coordination of installation and on-site validation of water treatment facility Expected cost savings of $350K first year against $200K equipment cost, $100K development cost

• Developing new DMX / Blue Tooth / Android based control system for a theater lighting control group to replace existing $3K sale / $1.6K cost package to $.5K sale / $75 cost. Expected volume to go from 750 to 5K to 8K per year

• Potentially characterization and/or simulation work to be done on a 1.1GHz DDR3 diff clock going through a high-speed mux part
