See our website for excellent videos and descriptions of our technology.  Much of my work at Physcient is confidential but here are some details tha I can share.

Examples of my work at Physcient:

Project Management, Leadership and Technical Direction Definition

Laparoscopic Differential Dissector (DDL) Iterative Design Process

Differential Dissector Manufacturing and Prototyping

Currently leading a multi-disciplinary team to design, prototype, evaluate and manufacture open surgery, laparoscopic and endoscopic versions of the Physcient Differential Dissector (DD) technology.  I use engineering principles, creativity, industry research and customer input to establish technical direction for the company as we advance automated surgical instrument designs from concept to production to clinical use.

I attend labs and clinical procedures then interview surgeons and incorporate their feedback into subsequent design iterations.  I work with our regulatory team to define FDA engagement strategy and provide requisite testing, validation and documentation.  I do technical presentations of our surgical instruments to potential and current investors, board members and potential strategic partners.

I schedule and facilitate design reviews and brainstorming sessions, produce requirements and specifications, set design and build schedules, incorporate DFM and DFA best practices into our designs, document assembly procedures, train assemblers and work closely with our contract manufacturer and vendors.  I lead the assembly of prototype devices and perform testing to verify requirements compliance.         

Accomplishments: I’ve taken the DD1 device from concept to production to clinical use (>400 human surgeries), I’ve taken the Laparoscopic DD from concept through iterative design and evaluation and now it’s ready for manufacture.  I’ve invented and built Endoscopic DD devices that have been evaluated by surgeons.  Each of these milestones has been a large value inflection for the company and throughout, I’ve invented technology that builds our intellectual property portfolio.  Each successive fund-raising round has been a significant valuation increase for all previous investors.
