  • Grew the startup to a $1M evaluation
  • Went through the process of hiring/laying-off 15+ people, and on average managed a team of 3–10 people
  • Designed and developed 2 products from idea to final products, while market-testing countless potential pivots
  • Designed boards & PCBs, conducted hundreds of user interviews, fabricated and tested dozens of prototypes, travelled to overseas fabrication houses, reached out to vendors, and hired and managed contractors & suppliers
