Early in my career, I made leading-edge technical contributions in the fields of integrated circuits, computer design, laser scanners for the supermarket, computer peripherals, hard disk development, including thin-film heads, thin-film media, embedded controllers, and computer-aided design and manufacturing. These achievements were made during my tenure at world-class companies including Xebec, Hewlett-Packard, Spectra-Physics, and Bell Telephone Laboratories. At Xebec, I led the creation and management of a state-of-the-art automated factory in Nevada that employed over 1,000 employees (the largest industrial factory in Nevada). This plant produced disk drives, controllers, and other components for the IBM PC industry and consistently won the top-quality awards from IBM, Dell, and HP using statistical process controls.
