At Eaton he led global, cross-functional teams to commercialize IoT-enabled products, define roadmaps, and execute complex proofs-of-concept that balanced scale, cost, reliability, and cybersecurity. He is fluent in embedded systems, microcontroller firmware, and a broad stack including TypeScript/JavaScript and C/C++, and routinely applies Infrastructure as Code on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
