Details

I'm a 17 year veteran engineering and product management executive in the local Boston startup landscape. I'm a mechanical engineer by training, and have designed quite a few robots and haptics devices in my time. I eventually gravitated to systems engineering and firmware / software, managing and technically contributing to many hardware and software products. I've led research organizations, engineering organizations and product management in various startup companies. I am currently serving as the Vice President of Engineering and Product Development at what is technically my 4th startup (excluding the ones I worked with as a consultant). This blog is a place for me to share my thoughts as a product person in a startup / small business environment. Happy reading!
