As the Engineering and Operations Manger I led a small but effective team of 10 staff members in the US and Mexico. We not only established and sustained a profitable business with Telsonics first product, TelsoSplice (wire splicing equipment), we also developed and launched a new wire to terminal welding product, the MPX. I also planned and oversaw the relocation of the business from a 5000sqft mill building in Newton, MA to a 12,000sqft facility in Billerica, MA in 2018.

Team Lead, Cambridge Nanotech
In 2010 CNT was a start up company producing Atomic Layer Deposition processing equipment for the semiconductor and solar industries. CNT was purchased in 2012 and is currently a division of Veeco. At CNT I was the Team Lead for the development of the Aurora System, a first of its kind, Large Format ALD System. The Aurora was capable of processing flat substrate materials up to 1000mm X 1200mm for the solar panel industry. I led the project from start to finish resulting in the successful delivery and commissioning of two Aurora systems to the customer site in California as part of a fully automated solar panel manufacturing line installation.
