What I've enjoyed most in my career have been the opportunities to take simple ideas in physics and create new business opportunities. If there's a differential equation to be solved, so much the better! Over the past 20yrs, I have created technology and markets for: real-time LWD imaging, electromagnetic MWD telemetry, optically enabled Coiled Tubing and real-time sandface monitoring on Dual Stage subsea completions. Now focusing on techniques to better extract valuable production and reservoir information from permanent microwave, electrical and optical sensing, with particular emphasis on production management and flow assurance.

I am an electronics engineer with fifteen years of experience in firmware development, mixed-signal systems, low-level communications, and IoT. My particular specialty is in understanding and developing complex systems. I am also an excellent communicator, and use my skills for training and collaborative work. I have a record of both leading and assisting in long-term investigations to uncover the root causes of technical problems. I've kept up my math and science learning since college, which helps me to quickly learn new technical skills.
