Connecting Physical Systems to Digital Intelligence
Throughout my career, I've worked on projects that bridge the physical and digital worlds, creating interfaces that help people monitor, understand, and control complex systems. This work is particularly meaningful to me because it has tangible, real-world impact—improving safety, efficiency, and decision-making for the people who keep our world running.
My Approach to Connected Systems
When designing for IoT and connected devices, I focus on:
Making complex data actionable and meaningful
Creating interfaces that work in challenging environments
Connecting technical capabilities to human needs
Designing systems that scale with growth and across devices & contexts
Selected Projects
Proactive Device Monitoring for Food Service Equipment
CLIENT: Taylor
I designed a comprehensive monitoring solution for commercial food service equipment that transforms how service engineers and distributors maintain their systems. The tablet and desktop application provides both high-level operational status across all stores and machines, and the ability to drill down to specific devices and metrics. By visualizing IoT-enabled device data, teams can identify potential issues before they become problems—keeping kitchens running and food safe. The configurable system allows administrators to customize thresholds for different customers and features a scalable UI that accommodates the addition of new devices, device types, stores, and business areas.
Infrastructure Health Monitoring
CLIENT: Pennoni
Working with Pennoni's forward-thinking civil engineers, I designed interfaces that translate sensor data from bridges into actionable insights. Aligning with their 60-year tradition of innovative engineering and community-focused solutions, the system continuously monitors structural health, allowing engineers and maintenance teams to detect subtle changes in performance long before they would be visible to the human eye. This preventative approach extends infrastructure lifespan, improves public safety, and helps communities maintain critical transportation links with fewer disruptions and lower costs.
Biometric Performance Monitoring for Athletes
CLIENT: Analog Devices
For Analog Devices, I created real-time dashboards that transform complex biometric data into clear insights for coaches and trainers. The system monitors athletes' vital signs during training and competition, enabling coaches to make informed, proactive decisions about player substitutions and recovery plans. This balance of comprehensive data and intuitive visualization helps protect athlete health while optimizing performance—demonstrating how advanced sensing technology can support critical real-time decision making in high-pressure environments.
Agricultural Intelligence Systems
CLIENT: SlantRange (acquired by Hiphen)
I designed interfaces for a system that bridges the technological gap in agriculture, using remote sensing, computer vision, and AI to monitor crop health and predict yields. By making complex agricultural data accessible and actionable, the solution empowers farmers of all technical backgrounds to adopt cutting-edge methods without requiring expertise in data science. This democratization of agricultural technology enables targeted interventions that improve crop performance while reducing resource use, helping farmers navigate climate challenges and contribute to more sustainable and efficient food production.
Smart Water System Management
CLIENT: Watts Water Technologies
I helped Watts transform traditional water system components into connected devices by designing interfaces that simplify selection, installation, and maintenance. The resulting ecosystem gives building managers unprecedented control over their water systems, improving safety through leak detection and automated shutoffs, enhancing conservation through usage analytics, and reducing maintenance costs through predictive servicing. This work addresses critical real-world challenges in water management—particularly important as communities face increasing water scarcity and aging infrastructure concerns.
