Ray has led cross-functional teams across customer support, engineering, and product marketing, creating technical standards and workshops that drove large renewals and multimillion-dollar sales. An author of management and technical books as well as Robot Haiku, he balances rigorous technical authority with a quietly creative side that also produces first-person mystery fiction under a pen name. Based in Framingham, MA, he leverages industry-hardened verification expertise to bring real-world engineering practices into the classroom.
