I provide engineering-grade terrain models, quantity analysis, and spatial data used for pre-design, site feasibility, construction planning, and field verification. My work supports civil engineers, surveyors, developers, insurers, and property owners who need reliable surfaces, measurements, and documentation without overcomplicating the process. Typical deliverables include DTM/DSM surfaces, cut/fill and earthwork quantities, contours, LandXML/DWG files, GIS outputs, and drone-based mapping or inspection documentation. I regularly work with AutoCAD Civil 3D, LiDAR, photogrammetry, GIS/QGIS, and Virtual Surveyor–style quantity workflows, producing data that integrates cleanly into downstream engineering, planning, or decision-making. In addition to office-based analysis, I also perform drone and on-site inspection work, including property and insurance-related inspections, condition documentation, and site verification. These projects often involve rapid turnaround, clear photo and map deliverables, and defensible measurements that insurers, adjuster networks, and asset managers can rely on. With over 14 years of experience supporting surveying and engineering workflows, I’m known for accurate data, practical execution, and clear communication. Whether you need terrain and quantities for design, site intelligence for planning, or reliable field documentation for inspection or insurance purposes, I bring a no-nonsense, professional approach focused on getting usable results fast.

I bridge the gap between rigorous engineering physics and fast-paced product development. As a PhD Mechanical Engineer and startup founder, I offer a rare combination of deep theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on building experience. I don't just design parts in CAD. I engineer complete systems by handling the mechanical design, optical integration, thermal analysis, and the Python code that makes it all run. Whether you need to design a rugged sensor enclosure, automate a testing setup, or model a complex physical system, I bring the "Founder’s Mindset" to your project. I prioritize robust, manufacturable solutions that fit your timeline and budget. My Multi-Disciplinary Expertise: 1. Mechanical Engineering & DFM I take concepts from napkin sketches to mass production. My designs are built for the real world, not just the computer screen. Tools: Expert in SolidWorks and Fusion 360. Capabilities: Design for Manufacturing (CNC, Injection Molding, 3D Printing), GD&T, and complex assembly management. Experience: Engineered high-pressure sensor housings (10,000 psi / 250°C) and solar concentrator modules that survive outdoor elements for 20+ years. 2. Optomechanics & Precision Instrumentation: If your product involves light, lasers, or sensors, I am the specialist you need. I understand how mechanical stress affects optical performance. Experience: Designed and built a sub-micron alignment workstation for fiber-to-chip attachment using high-power CO2 lasers. R&D: Developed novel photonic sensors (published in Seismological Research Letters and Applied Optics), proving my ability to develop and handle extremely sensitive instrumentation. 3. Engineering Computation (Python & FEA) I use code and simulations to validate hardware. I rely on calculation rather than guesswork. Simulation: Advanced Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS/COMSOL) for thermal, structural, ray/wave optics and multiphysics problems. Python: Proficient in NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas for data analysis and physics-based modeling. Automation: I build custom GUIs (Tkinter) to interface with hardware and automate data acquisition. Why Clients Trust Me: I have built my own company: As a founder in the renewable energy sector, I treat your capital with the same respect I treat my own. I focus on viable, scalable engineering. I solve the "Hard" problems: I specialize in projects where standard engineering isn't enough, such as those involving extreme temperatures, high pressures, and sub-micron tolerances.

I am a Senior Data Scientist and technical leader with over 25 years of experience delivering AI/ML solutions in medical imaging, cybersecurity, and regulated environments. I co-invented SecondLook®, an FDA-approved mammography CAD system used in approximately 1 million screenings annually, where my algorithm work improved cancer detection rates by 20%. I hold 8 U.S. patents in computer-aided detection. Currently, I run Redwall Technologies, where I develop secure AI-integrated solutions for DoD and healthcare clients. I recently fine-tuned BioBERT for biomedical sentiment analysis (94% F1 on imbalanced data) and built a CNN-based chest X-ray abnormality detector using TensorFlow and AWS EC2. I excel at quickly delivering production-ready machine learning models, computer vision pipelines, and regulatory-compliant systems. I am available for short-term contracts (typically 1–3 months) and can commit 30+ hours per week during those periods. I bring clear, practical plans that reduce risk and accelerate results for clients tackling complex AI challenges in clinical or secure environments. Success looks like a reliable, well-documented solution that meets your timeline and regulatory needs, so you can move forward with confidence.

I have worked in machine learning, computer vision, audio processing, defense (signals intelligence), medical imaging (stereotactic radiosurgery, ultrasound), life sciences (biotech/pharma), medical robotics, and wireless communications. Involved in writing a significant amount of software, ranging from the desktop/workstation/cloud arena (Wintel, Linux, Mac OS X) to deeply embedded systems (TI DSPs, MCUs, ARM) and in between! My 1st book, "Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000 DSP (Examples in Code Composer Studio and MATLAB)," was published way back in April, 2005. I am a co-inventor or inventor on 15+ issued patents. I have published numerous articles in various trade magazines, and consulted for numerous companies both big (Meta, Google, TI, AMD, Sony) and small (many startups & medium sized firms).
