INTERESTS FOR PRESENT POSITION

I am currently employed with a dynamic Montreal-based cardiovascular device company. My present focus is implant design and regulatory affairs. I am a focused and high-impact team player who is willing to lead and coordinate.   My unique skill set includes extensive knowledge of cardiovascular physiology, device design and prototype development. I am well suited to agile small and medium sized companies in need of cardiovascular implant expertise.

 

OTHER INTERESTS

Music, literature, automotive repair and writing occupy me outside of work. I am also an accomplished backcountry hiker and cyclist, and enjoy playing basketball, softball, and hockey.

WORK EXPERIENCE

CoroNéo Inc.
2003-Present
under Anthony Paolitto
info(at)coroneo.com
www.coroneo.com

Ongoing work at CoroNéo involves cardiovascular implant design, testing and regulatory work. Several projects have been initiated based on close work with cardiac surgeons with unique and innovative ideas. Project management, IP, regulatory affairs, research and design are all key components of my work with CoroNéo.

 

Montreal Heart Institute
2001-2003
supervised by Rosaire Mongrain
mongrain(at)mcgill.ca
www.icm-mhi.ca

This project involved extensive use of CAD and FEM software to model the pharmacokinetics of drug-eluting coronary stents. Geometry optimization, diseased artery studies and 3D mesh optimization were primary interests. An in-depth understanding of cardiovascular physiology and current interventional techniques were gained from close collaboration with cardiologists.

 

PTD Technologies
1999-2001
under Dr. Geoffrey Voss
control(at)ptdtech.com
www.ptdtech.com

Management skills were refined during the design and characterization of electromechanical prostate monitoring and imaging prototypes, active EMG electrode systems and motion capture systems. Working from my own CAD designs, prototypes were constructed, tested, and refined.
