Projects
Fit3D ProScanner
Co-founded Fit3D and owned the full hardware stack (mechanical, electronics, and firmware) from first prototype to 500+ commercial units. A motorized turntable kiosk using structured light to capture full-body geometry and generate automated body measurements.
- Designed all hardware subsystems: turntable drive and motion control (electronics and firmware), embedded systems, optical integration, and enclosure
- Fabrication mix: sheet metal, CNC plastics, and injection-molded parts; maximized off-the-shelf components to control cost and lead time
- Sensor platform evolved from PrimeSense to Structure Sensor across product generations
- Managed US-based CM for final assembly; China subassemblies for cost-sensitive components
- Built supply chain planning and buffer processes to manage lead time risk; components sourced at prototype volumes can face 20+ week lead times at production scale
- Led safety and emissions compliance through UL, FCC, CE, and RoHS certification
Wearable GPS Tracker - Horse Racing
Miniaturized wearable GPS tracker delivering 2 cm RTK position accuracy. Sole hardware engineer: antenna evaluation, prototype builds, PCB layout, enclosure design, and MVP firmware.
- Core constraint: minimal ground plane; achieved a form factor compact enough to gain approval for jockey vest placement, significantly improving GNSS signal over saddle-cloth mounting
- u-blox F9P / X20P GNSS, RTK Fixed at 2 cm via RTCM corrections over telemetry link
- TI SimpleLink 900 MHz radio, selected over 2.4 GHz after field evaluation
GPS Tracking Unit - Motorsports
Vehicle-mounted GPS tracker for racing applications. 6-layer PCB optimized for a high-vibration, space-constrained environment. Full hardware design: schematic capture and PCB layout.
- 6-layer PCB: balanced size, signal integrity, power distribution, and EMI isolation for race vehicle conditions
- u-blox F9P migrated to X20P; TI SimpleLink at 2.4 GHz; RTK Fixed accuracy maintained at race speed
GPS Telemetry Base Station
Trackside RF base station for the motorsports and horse racing telemetry system. Managed requirements, coordinated outside engineering consultants, and delivered PCB updates to improve reliability and resolve EOL component issues.
- Multiple units per venue provide RF coverage for high-density tracker deployments
- Onboard GPS receiver generates RTCM correction data delivered to rover units over 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz link
- PCB revisions: reduced part count, improved reliability, designed around EOL components
- Coordinated outside mechanical and electrical consultants; BOM research and component selection
NHL Player & Puck Tracking
Scaled an IR-based player and puck tracking system from a single-venue pilot to 32 NHL arenas, managing systems integration, installation constraints, and supply chain to meet a hard seasonal deadline.
- Resolved installation constraints at scale: power budgets, cable lengths, and mounting requirements across all venues
- Supply chain coordination across all system components to meet production timeline
