START-UP Project Lead (GAIA) Rochester, NY August 2016-Present GAIA is my self-proposed entrepreneurial project to create a embedded sensors compression suit that measures biometrics quantifies training and rehabilitation of users, in order to workout smarter rather than harder. I am responsible for leading a cross-functional team of biomedical, computer, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineers to effectively design, develop, and prototype a fully functional ready for market product by the end of the academic year. In addition to leading the team I communicate with vendors as well as customers, to help raise interest in the product as well as acquire funding. I assist in designing layout of suit, circuit board/microprocessor for processing EMG and ECG data, writing code for execution of devices features, and testing materials. We have ties with RITs multi-disciplinary senior design. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Purification Specialist (ProUnlimited at Sanofi Genzyme) Boston, MA January 2016-June 2016
