San Diego, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Laporte is a Sensor System Architect with 12 years of experience blending algorithms, signal processing, and hardware-aware system design to ship novel sensing products. He has led cross-disciplinary teams from problem definition through prototyping and customer validation, driving mission-critical releases at Apple (iPhone 16 Camera Control) and Meta Health while flagging a critical HW design flaw within weeks. His strengths are Python-level algorithm development, physics-based modeling (e.g., linearizing complex subsystem interference without costly FEA), and building cloud architectures for algorithm-agnostic HW assessment. Patrick helped deliver the first FDA-approved wrist-worn pulse oximeter at a startup and has a track record of creating enduring measurement infrastructure and clinical trial systems. Based in San Diego, he thrives on new technical learning and excels at translating datasheets and device physics into deployable sensing solutions.
