Recent Work
At Deep Sentinel, I led company level product strategy across AI, hardware, and software, guiding the vision, development, and execution of next generation security solutions. I directed cross functional teams spanning engineering, data science, operations, and customer experience to translate business priorities into a cohesive product roadmap that strengthened product market fit and supported both residential and commercial growth.
A key accomplishment was driving the development and launch of the DS2 AI enabled camera platform, overseeing its evolution from concept through delivery, aligning technical innovation with customer value, and positioning it as a core component of the company’s intelligent security ecosystem.
Corporate Governance & Organizational Stewardship
Interested in shaping how companies operate at the highest level, board interaction, decision frameworks, accountability models, and long-term institutional health.
Executive Leadership & Team Building
Leading cross functional organizations, developing senior talent, and creating alignment across engineering, operations, finance, and commercial teams.
Portfolio & Product Strategy at Scale
Focus on defining where a company should play and how it should win. Market selection, investment prioritization, platform strategy, and aligning innovation with business outcomes.
Operational Excellence & Sustainable Growth
Driving execution discipline, building repeatable systems, and guiding companies toward durable profitability, scalability, and long-term value creation.
ABOUT ME
Product strategy has been the common thread throughout my career, guiding the creation of products, companies, and brands that people use every day. I focus on turning emerging technologies into market-ready solutions, often working behind the scenes to lead development from concept through launch. 25+ years helping founders and teams build new businesses and technical products.
I also spent a decade as a professor at Lehigh University, where I co-created the award winning Master of Engineering in Technical Entrepreneurship program before returning back to industry to focus on hands on innovation.
Along the way, I’ve written multiple books on technology, and 100+ published print articles for MAKE and HackSpace, and produced hundreds of videos with millions of views for platforms including O’Reilly Media and LinkedIn Learning, centered on product development and prototyping.
Today, I continue to work across strategy and execution, supporting startups, advancing robotics driven manufacturing initiatives, and building new technology based products.
manufacturing
Unexpected Lab's newest products, dLUX-dLITEs, were all designed and manufactured in NJ. All prototyping was completed in-house, along with the manufacturing systems using custom-designed co-botic robotics, custom tooling and a proprietary manufacturing technique. They are sold internationally through multiple resellers including Adafruit and Pimoroni. If you need help with new product development or manufacturing, reach out!
