About Me

Seeking a technical product manager role. With over a decade experience in embedded electronics, software, and leadership I want to help business expand and grow their product offerings. I started in electrical engineering at Seagate in Colorado, then moved into medical device design and development within a start-up in San Diego, CA. Today I’m a program manager supporting business development at Tria Technologies (Avnet Company), focused on helping customers find embedded compute solutions for the next generation products. This includes: scoping out product requirememts, mapping out product roadmaps and timelines, managing key factory and partner relationships, and managing hardware and software deployment domestically and overseas. I’ve led complex, cross-disciplinary work from R&D through delivery, working with marketing, clinical, supplier partners, drug manufacturers, and overseas manufacturing to deliver products from 0 -> 1 across multiple domains.
