As a sideline activity, I have contracted to perform pre-patent assessments for various university clients.Global InformaticsCosta Mesa, CaliforniaMechanical Engineer 1/2008-1/2009As a contract mechanical engineer, I provided technical support (component selection, configuration, BOM) for Global Informatics. The product in development was a portable electronic medical record keeping system (hardware/software). This was a contract project engineering lead position with Global Informatics.Pacific Group CompaniesLong Beach, CaliforniaChief Technology Officer 12/2002-12/2007I was the Chief Technology Officer for Pacific Group Companies; an investment company for five years. I was tasked with analyzing and advising on technology investment-related matters.EcoSoulTustin, CaliforniaDirector of Engineering 11/2001-11/2002Acted as Director of Engineering for EcoSoul; a non-profit Fuel Cell (educational product)-related company. Did some redesign of the small Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC), set up the production facility, and revamped the RFCs components and its BOM.Saudi Oger LLCRiyadh, Saudi ArabiaEngineering Supervisor 9/1999-9/2001Worked in Saudi Arabia at the King Khaled International Airport as an engineering supervisor for Saudi Oger LLC, with 12 technicians under my command.It was an operations and maintenance contract. We were charged with maintaining the various systems at the airport (fire safety, runway lighting, water treatment plant et al).Hughes Wireless SystemsGermantown, MarylandThermal Engineer 1/1998-/6/1999Worked under contract for Hughes Wireless Systems (Germantown, Maryland) as a Thermal Engineer.
