Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Conn is a Principal Algorithm Engineer and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience building FDA-regulated medical devices, machine learning algorithms, and ultra-low-power embedded systems from concept through 510(k) clearance and commercialization. He combines executive leadership—having founded and led a venture-backed company that raised over $55M—with deep hands-on technical skills in signal processing, sensor instrumentation, and full-stack development. Based in Rochester, NY, he advises and boards health-tech startups while consulting across product, regulatory, and algorithmic domains. His background as a PhD-trained microsystems engineer and early CEO gives him a rare ability to translate cutting-edge research into viable, market-ready hardware-software products. An operator who still dives into firmware and custom algorithms, he excels at closing gaps between R&D, regulatory strategy, and commercial execution.
