About

Product designer/hardware prototyper building Saccade (VR headset attachment for Apple Vision Pro) to enable earlier, lower-cost Alzheimer's detection via eye-tracking and on-device CV/ML; designed a custom biocompatible snap-on light-shield replacement with integrated cameras/PCB after Apple camera-data restrictions. Also has biomedical manufacturing experience (major fixture-driven throughput gains) and leads a 160-member Assistive Technology Club sponsored by Apple and Google.

Key Strengths

  • Designed end-to-end VR hardware attachment for early Alzheimer's detection (eye-tracking) integrated with Apple Vision Pro
  • Solved platform constraint (no access to internal camera data) by designing a replacement light-shield module with custom cameras and PCB
  • Strong human-centered medical design: tested with Alzheimer's patients and families via Cottage Health; incorporated clinical feedback (test length, colors, breaks, comfort, AR vs VR)
  • Manufacturing/process optimization: increased curing throughput from 5 parts per oven cycle to 36 via fixture redesign
  • Reduced factory setup time from ~15 minutes to ~2 minutes by creating modular camera head alignment tooling
  • Rapid prototyping mindset (quick-to-fail iterations) across hardware and research projects
  • Cross-disciplinary leadership: founded Assistive Technology Club (160 members) with Apple hardware support and Google financial sponsorship; managing ~10 active technical projects
