Seasoned engineering leader with Apple-honed expertise in delivering world-class, high-precision consumer systems now driving Product Engineering & Operations at Sciverse — the AI-first point-of-care diagnostics innovator trusted by US and global healthcare networks. At Apple, as Product Design Engineer, I spearheaded critical iPhone system architectures (including leading the IP project), mastering end-to-end product lifecycle: from concept architecture and rigorous DFM to reliability engineering, Six Sigma-driven quality systems, and flawless high-volume manufacturing execution — shipping billions of devices with uncompromising precision, durability, and user excellence under intense global scrutiny. Today at Sciverse, I bring that same elite rigor and systems-thinking to accelerate transformative MedTech platforms: MyCount Xpress (AI-powered finger-prick 5-part CBC in minutes), SciLisa, SciVision.ai, and beyond — integrating microfluidics, optics, biosensors, embedded intelligence, and cloud connectivity while prioritizing FDA/CE/CDSCO regulatory pathways and scalable, zero-compromise production. Empowering US hospital groups, reference labs, international distributors, and strategic partners with reliable, decentralized diagnostics that reach the last mile of care. Passionate about translating deep-tech complexity into life-saving impact at speed and scale. Open to high-impact conversations on PoCT innovation, AI-hardware fusion, MedTech scaling, manufacturing excellence, and US/global partnerships.
