Patent Practitioner with an M.Sc. in Computer Science and extensive experience in patent preparation, prosecution, and intellectual property strategy across diverse technology sectors, including software, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, mechanical engineering, advanced materials, and energy storage. Demonstrates expertise in analyzing complex software architectures, AI/ML systems, NLP frameworks, IoT-enabled environmental controls, advanced HVAC system architectures, metal-organic frameworks, and pharmaceutical and medical innovations. Combines interdisciplinary knowledge of computer science, physics, chemistry, and mathematics with strong patent analytical skills to develop robust patent portfolios and conduct comprehensive patentability assessments, validity and infringement analyses, and freedom-to-operate evaluations.
Lead the end-to-end global patent lifecycle for high-value technologies, including drafting and prosecuting complex patent applications, strategically managing continuation portfolios and maintenance, and aligning patent strategies with commercial product roadmaps. Collaborate directly with engineers, R&D scientists, and cross-functional technical teams to identify, capture, evaluate, and protect innovations. Conduct and oversee comprehensive patentability searches, freedom-to-operate analyses, patent validity and invalidity assessments, and competitive patent landscape monitoring to inform IP strategy, mitigate infringement risks, and strengthen portfolio value.
Conducted in-depth technical analyses of complex software architectures, AI/ML systems, algorithms, and implementation details to assess inventive concepts and identify patentable subject matter. Evaluated technologies across chemistry, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and advanced materials, including formulations, compositions, manufacturing processes, and mechanisms of action. Drafted and prosecuted patent applications spanning software, chemistry, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, metal-organic frameworks, and battery technologies. Analyzed patents, published patent applications, and non-patent literature to support patent prosecution, litigation, and strategic intellectual property decisions. Performed comprehensive patentability, validity, infringement, and freedom-to-operate analyses to assess patent risks, evaluate competitive landscapes, and support informed IP strategy.
Led teams overseeing asset tracking, utilization, maintenance, and equipment certification. Served as the equipment subject matter expert and technical liaison among operations, engineering, and accounting. Streamlined workflows and implemented process improvements to increase productivity, enhance asset visibility, and improve cross-functional coordination.
Managed concurrent engineering engagements for global clients, providing technical support and documentation throughout the project lifecycle. Developed job designs, reviewed field-engineering procedures, and recommended equipment solutions aligned with client objectives and operational requirements. Assessed equipment limitations and failure scenarios, developed risk-mitigation plans, and prepared technical reports, including metallurgical fatigue analyses and maximum allowable fatigue calculations, to support safe and reliable operations.
