Product Design Process
I've been involved with over 40 product development programs, and while these have ranged from small consumer products to large medical systems they all have shared the same general design approach. This slideshow discusses the highlights of my process.
High-Speed Docking Station
2006 / Belkin
Lunar invited me to participate in this program for Belkin, on which I served as program manager. I led our team through the development process described in this case study.
CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System
2005 / Accuray
CyberKnife is a non-invasive radiosurgical system for the treatment for cancer. I managed a program at Lunar Design to integrate the various robotic elements of the system both functionally and aesthetically. More information about this remarkable system can be found at the Accuray website.
Biometric USB Flash Drive
2005 / SanDisk
This portable flash drive features a fingerprint scanner to restrict access to its contents. I served as lead engineer on this program at Lunar Design.
