My first job was at Microsoft designing, integrating, and developing electro-mechanical and opto-mechanical subsystems for Surface Book 2, Surface Book, and Surface Pro 3 devices. My designs have been in millions of devices, and I’ve had 15+ trips to suppliers in Asia, so I know what it takes to ship hardware!
Camera modules, IR illumination systems, light pipes, audio modules (speakers & microphones), Touch Display Modules (TDMs), Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs)
Stamped sheet metal parts, injection-molded plastics, compression-molded elastomers, die cut foams and adhesives
Drove suppliers in Asia to develop and integrate modules
