Formerly at Raytheon, I was the Technical Director of Multi-Function RF Systems at Raytheon responsible for guiding overall technical direction and tech roadmaps, matching technical portfolio to key market potentials, and serving as program manager for our internal seed/innovation funding.

Prior to joining Raytheon, I worked on advanced digital circuit designs and energy efficient digital signal processing concepts as a National Science Foundation Fellow and Presidents fellow in the PhD program at Georgia Tech. There, I was also involved in several startup company experiences.

I also joined IBM for a total of 2 years through their Extreme Blue co-op program and while at IBM.
