As the Director of Engineering at Fluxergy, I played a crucial role in leading the FDA approval process for our cutting-edge medical device
This involved ensuring strict adherence to regulatory standards, facilitating market entry, and establishing our presence in the dynamic field of medical diagnostics
My responsibilities encompassed the management of algorithms, back-end, front-end, embedded, automation, QA and Hardware teams
I spearheaded the design of the architecture for both the Fluxergy Analyzer and Fluxergy Works, positioning these platforms as pioneers in the realm of medical diagnostics
The Fluxergy Analyzer, equipped with highly-integrated proprietary sensors and multimodal detection capabilities enhanced by an AI engine, can efficiently handle a diverse range of potential assays
The architecture includes four major sensor and fluidics systems-fluorescence, colorimetric, electrical potentiometer, and imaging cytometry-each contributing to the overall precision of diagnostic results
Collaborating closely with management stakeholders, I developed engineering requirements and plans to deliver a comprehensive product roadmap and establish a scalable technical architecture
Ensuring the availability of resources, project management capabilities, and efficient processes, I led the team in executing plans to deliver product and platform roadmaps on time and within budget
My role extended to establishing coding standards, testing procedures, and CI/CD processes, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence
Through coaching and mentorship, I ensured the success of team members, inspiring an atmosphere of creativity and continuous learning
Leading a team of engineering managers, developers, and technical staff, I fostered a collaborative and innovative team culture with high standards of quality
I actively participated in the formulation and execution of the technical strategy for our products and services, driving key architectural decisions to ensure scalability, performance, and maintainability.
