DIAGNOSTIC SPRINT
1-2 week sprint to provide a clear, evidence-backed diagnosis!
Find out what's causing your most disruptive problem, how to remedy it, and how to make sure it never happens again.
INCLUDED
-
Onsite investigation, testing, and data gathering
-
Daily updates
-
Full-stack analysis through hardware, firmware, and software
-
Full diagnostic download at end of sprint:
-
Root cause diagnosis
>>> "The problem is caused by X." -
Relevant evidence, data, and logs
>>> "Here's proof that the problem is caused by X. -
Corrective actions to resolve problem
>>> "Fix the problem by doing Y." -
Action plans, test procedures, and scripts used
>>> "Here's how I found out that X was the root cause."

ABOUT ME
Troubleshooting hardware systems can be difficult.
Even with a dozen specialists, you will still struggle to repair them because
system-level issues often arise at the interfaces between specialties.
I'm effective at fixing deep-tech hardware systems because I've researched, designed, built, launched, and troubleshooted complex integrated hardware across many domains: electronics, semiconductors, chemistry, molecular biology, microfluidics, firmware, and software.
Alma Maters
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
M.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering
Master's Thesis: "Fabrication and Testing of Silicon Integrated Nanofluidic Channels for Neurochemical Transport"
Stanford University
B.S. Chemical Engineering
A rigorous ChemE curriculum + research in molecular biology and chemistry labs every summer.
PREVIOUS PROJECTS
I've played a pivotal role in cutting-edge hardware systems across various domains.
Biotech System Architecture
System architect at Illumina, a market leader in biotech. Oversaw design specifications and system integration of optoelectronic and computer vision subsystems for next-gen sequencing platforms.
Neural Implants
Electronic and fluidic testing of microfabricated neural sensors developed by me and others.
Co-authored a 2019 paper for the Transducers/Eurosensors conference.
Device Firmware
Designed device drivers in C/C++ for various microcontrollers across many small electronics projects.
Examples:
STM32 driver for inertial sensor
Smart Wearable with Gesture Detection
Built a rechargeable smart wristband that uses sensor fusion to detect face touching and nail biting. Efficient and battery-powered, requires only 8kB flash and 1kB RAM to run.
Lab Experiment Automation
Repaired automation software codebase for a biotech client's high-throughput fluorescence system, enabling them automate research experiments at scale.
