About Me

I am a Software Engineer and Architect with strong academic and professional experience leading and supporting the design, development, and implementation of enterprise technology solutions. Over the past 5 years I have gained experience in system and software development lifecycles (SDLC), while analyzing technology products and processes, recommends solutions, while completing new technology research, development, testing, and implementation initiatives. My professional achievements include:

Led the development of a gamified therapy platform in Unity/C# to enhance adherence after injury and provide data-driven performance insights to patients and care providers.
Managed a team of engineers, researchers, and designers responsible for developing cloud services and analysis in AWS, creating secure user management systems, and conducting user testing and clinical trials.
Built back-end data collection systems in C++ and C#, software used for motion capture and muscle activity sensors.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, brewing beer, and picking up new skills. I enjoy fantasy and science fiction literature, strategy board games, and playing with new tech.

Latest Projects

MultiModal Health - vHAB

A gamified therapy and assessment platform

Health Software

vHAB is the first product developed through MultiModal Health

During my academic career, I co-founded a startup, MultiModal Health, where I gained practical experience in VR technologies, product development, and human computer interaction. Our first product, vHAB, utilizes commercial VR input modalities to drive physical interaction with virtual spaces in natural ways to engage patients in their post-injury therapy. As the CTO and lead developer I created robust user interfaces, data acquisition modalities with low level hardware, and 3D mini-games in Unity, while exploring challenges in virtual reality and healthcare markets. I led a team of software engineers and researchers to develop HIPAA compliant cloud infrastructure and pilot our systems at six care centers across Washington and in patient’s homes. My team operated in an agile software environment, quickly iterating on customer feedback to deliver robust end products. I developed new product initiatives using emerging sensor and display technologies while working to find product-market fits that are beneficial to our company and our customers.

Ph.D. Research

Brain-computer-interfaces aim to help persons with difficulty moving or communicating regain the lost function. In my work, I studied multiple areas of the brain in attempts to create better control paradigms for these systems. Through this work I performed multiple roles, including data analysis, hardware/electrode manufacturing, animal training, surgery, and mentoring

CSNE Hackathon

The CSNE is a neuroengineering focused research center with a strong education focus. As one of the student leaders of the CSNE, I set out to create an additional way to engage other students with the principles of neuroengineering. With the help of my fellow student leaders, I recruited, organized, and executed a weekend long hackathon for students from three different universities.
