Career

I'm currently the Managing Director of OGO Sense .

Joomla 360 for Small Business

My role model Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) is the Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer and scientist. His inventions include a telephone repeater, rotating magnetic field principle, polyphase alternating-current system, induction motor, alternating-current power transmission, Tesla coil transformer, wireless communication, radio, fluorescent lights and more than 700 other patents.

Engineering is my family tradition. My dad, a mechanical engineer, helped me fall in love with engineering while my uncle, a noted mathematician, inspired me to become good at math. Then my cousin, who attended a college for electrical engineering, often discussed with me some interesting aspects of his subjects. As an EE graduate from the University of Maine at Orono, I will have an excellent foundation in the electronics and electrical engineering field.

I have become an electrical engineer because I want to be constantly challenged intellectually and the only constant in the electrical engineering field is the change. My mission is to leave this world better than I found it and I believe I could do this the best through innovative ideas in electrical engineering.

IT Computer Lab Manager 

As a computer lab manager, I was responsible for interviewing, hiring, and training employees, planning, assigning, and directing work; appraising performance; rewarding and disciplining employees; addressing complaints and resolving problems. In addition, I performed on-site technical support to 2 computer labs, 6 computer classrooms and residence halls.

Before becoming a computer lab manager 3 years ago, I assisted users with computer applications and provided phone support with the First Class email/conferencing system, residence hall network, software applications and operating systems. 
 


IDEXX Intern 

As an intern in IDEXX Instrument Service, I was responsible for LaserCyte hematology analyzer repair, maintenance, calibration and standardization. This position required an ability to troubleshoot a highly complex system designed and built around the principles of optics, physics, electronics, pneumatics and robotics. In addition, I contributed own original ideas to the improvement of service and manufacturing processes.

How does LaserCyte work?

The LaserCyte analyzer includes a lens-optical detection system for collection of scattered light after cell interrogation, measuring cell size and distinguishing among several different types of cells.
Cells having a high degree of granularity (e.g., neutrophils and eosinophils) scatter incident light at higher angles than do cells with low granularity (lymphocytes and monocytes).
Forward, right-angle and side-scatter measurements are used to distinguish among different types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes.
