Hello! I’m a Laser & Optical Engineer interested in building useful products in the automotive industry. I have a passion for all things technology! I graduated from 🎓 UCSB with a BS in Physics ⚛️. I’m currently living in Santa Barbara 🏄 with my wife!

Current Role

At my day job, I work to bring automotive flash lidar cameras 📸 to market. I’ve been lucky to have a broad range of topics to work on. Here’s a sample of some of my experience:

• Solid-state laser systems 💥
• Design and procurement of illumination optics for lidar systems
• Optical coatings such as AR coatings and Bandpass coatings
• Layout optical systems in Zemax
• Calculated eye safety according to ANSI Z136.1 and IEC 60825-1 ed3 🚨
• Design production test cells for testing laser illumination and Lidar calibration
• Design mechanical parts in CATIA and Solidworks for fast prototyping
• DFSS green belt

I also have several patents pending pertaining to Lidar systems and often get to travel to Germany🇩🇪 to support our team.
