Portfolio — 2026
I lead product and systems engineering for connected consumer devices, embedded electronics, and launch-ready hardware platforms — from beauty tech and wearables to sensing, power, and manufacturing-grade design.
Currently AVP, Head of Engineering at L'Oréal R&I Augmented Beauty. Available for advisory engagements, and select freelance and consulting projects for startups and small businesses building hardware.
Selected work
Three representative programs spanning beauty technology, premium skincare electronics, and wearable audio systems.
Beauty tech / consumer electronics
An at-home hair-color application device that brings salon-grade precision into a handheld form factor. The program coupled a closed-loop micro-dosing system, orientation-aware behavior from on-board sensors, and a multi-board electronics stack with the end-user experience and industrial design required of a flagship consumer beauty product.
Skincare device / premium electronics
A premium skincare platform that pairs topical serum delivery with patented dual-wavelength LED activation. The electronics architecture coordinates precision dosing, sensor-informed adjustments, and tightly synchronized LED drive across multiple boards — a single device that has to perform like jewelry and measure like an instrument.
Audio wearable / system architecture
One of the earliest truly wireless earbuds, using near-field magnetic induction for the ear-to-ear link — a hardware architecture that predates today's commodity stacks. As VP of Engineering I owned system architecture and electrical design, and coordinated firmware, mechanical, industrial design, and overseas manufacturing through launch.
Capabilities
Premium, direct, and engineering-led — available for advisory engagements, fractional technical leadership, and select freelance and consulting projects with founders and small teams building hardware.
