Product Developer with Systems Experience

I turn concepts into reality. HatchPoint is the research and development company that I founded in 2001. Although a mechanical engineer by training, I have also become an expert in circuit design with an emphasis on low power wireless sensors and instruments. As HatchPoint has evolved I’ve expanded my skills beyond engineering, with experience in fund raising, project management, intellectual property, and FDA regulatory concerns. I am a business development consultant for start ups as well. HatchPoint has begun to grow internal concepts into products. Autonomy Medical (previously Compliant Games) is an mHealth platform started at HatchPoint that helps prevent and treat respiratory diseases in children. While I enjoy the technical aspects of product design, I have also grown to appreciate the business development necessary to bring products successfully to market. Technical Specialties: • Software development including embedded and desktop development (C/C++, Python, Assembly) Web-based applications (Pyramid, TurboGears), database (mySQL, MongoDB), and Linux device drivers • Electronics design (Pulsonix EDA, EagleCAD, KiCad, Mentor PADS) with an emphasis on embedded electronics and sensors using ARM MSP, and AVR microcontrollers. • Mechanical design and CAD (SolidWorks, Pro/E, Fusion 360) • Prototyping using SLA, molding, or vacuum forming as well as manual or CNC machining. • Small batch PCB assembly for prototyping and evaluation including small-pitch surface mount and RF components. Startup Experience: • Developing fundraising business plans and pitches for fundraising. • Raising seed round funds for two startups. • Modeling financials for predicting capital requirements and developing sales models. • Working with consultants to meet FDA 510(k) and IEC 60601 regulatory process.

"Overall, Shane did a great job on our project. He has the skills needed to perform complex PCB and firmware design. The project took much longer than expected and at times it was difficult getting a response from Shane due to his busy schedule. However, he always responded and was very cooperative working with us on the budget and goals. We would recommend Shane for any PCB project."

"We had a hardware project with a very tight deadline and I'm happy to say Shane turned out to be the perfect guy for the job! He is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of practical experience in developing electronics. He got to work immediately and put in a lot of time to keep everything on schedule. Communication was critical for this project to be a success and Shane was great. He is honest, friendly, forthcoming with critical information (good or bad), and remained flexible even when some requirements shifted mid-stream. Shane is now on our short list of people to contact for electronics development. We highly recommend him!"
