I enjoy Smart connected product development and launches, where I can work with cross-functional teams to bring new physical and digital (App, dashboard, and backend infrastructure) products to the market. I have been fortunate to work on many high-runner connected products in B2C and B2B sectors and give them life by bringing wireless connectivity, cloud, App experience, and AI to the table.
