ABOUT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 30 years of experience in military, aerospace, defense, and industrial markets, I help customers navigate complex technology decisions and identify the right combination of hardware, architecture, integration, and lifecycle support for demanding applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My career spans field applications engineering, regional sales management, channel development, and technical business development. This combination of engineering and commercial experience gives me a broad perspective on how technical decisions affect program execution, customer outcomes, and long-term system sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My technical background includes SOSA-aligned OpenVPX, VME, rugged embedded computing, high-performance processing, GPGPU, image processing, networking, RF and data acquisition, and real-time systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work at the intersection of customer requirements, system architecture, engineering, and business objectives\u2014helping translate complex mission needs into practical, supportable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My approach is straightforward: understand the mission, identify the right technology, and bring the pieces together to support successful integration and long-term program performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CURRENT ROLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embedded Computing Architect (ECA) | ELMA Electronic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my role as an Embedded Computer Architect at ELMA Electronic, I work with customers and industry partners to translate demanding aerospace and defense requirements into practical embedded computing architectures and hardware solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My focus is on understanding the complete application\u2014from mission requirements and system interfaces to processing needs, environmental constraints, integration considerations, and long-term support. By aligning customer objectives with appropriate open-standard technologies and modular hardware platforms, I help develop solutions designed to meet both immediate program requirements and evolving lifecycle needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Areas of focus include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • System Architecture:<\/strong> Helping define embedded computing approaches that align with application requirements, system interfaces, and performance objectives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Open Standards:<\/strong> Supporting architecture discussions involving SOSA-aligned systems, OpenVPX, VME, and other relevant embedded computing standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rugged Computing Solutions:<\/strong> Addressing hardware selection and integration considerations for demanding aerospace, defense, and industrial environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Customer & Engineering Collaboration:<\/strong> Connecting customer requirements with engineering capabilities to identify appropriate, supportable solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lifecycle & Program Success:<\/strong> Considering integration risk, maintainability, scalability, and long-term product support as part of the overall solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    I bring more than 30 years of experience across applications engineering, technical sales, regional sales management, and channel development to this role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My objective is to help customers make informed architectural decisions, reduce integration challenges, and identify the right hardware building blocks for mission-critical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The right architecture begins with understanding the mission\u2014and making sure every piece fits the bigger picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
