A professional engineer specializing in electrical and computer engineering provides expert witness services with more than 30 years of experience in forensic engineering, electrical systems, and electronic device investigations. Work in this capacity addresses issues involving electrical failures, fire cause and origin, product safety, and engineering analysis of electrical and electronic systems, with experience that includes consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony. This work is applied to matters involving electrical incidents, product liability, and failure mechanisms across consumer, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

Technical expertise includes electrical and electronic design, failure analysis, and reverse engineering of electrical devices, computer systems, and telecommunications equipment. Work in this area incorporates evaluation of data networks, data encryption hardware, semiconductors, and microprocessor-based systems, as well as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design, grounding, and surge protection. Additional areas of work include industrial automation and control systems, residential and commercial wiring, and compliance with national and international safety and performance standards, including UL, CE, CSA, FCC, and IEC frameworks. Fire and incident-related investigations include determination of electrical fire cause and origin, lightning and surge-related damage, and evaluation of electrical shock and safety conditions.

Work also involves engineering investigations related to product safety and failure mechanisms, including detailed product teardowns, patent claim mapping, and analysis of design and manufacturing processes to identify failure modes and assess compliance with applicable standards and engineering practices. Professional experience includes leadership as an owner and principal forensic electrical engineer, along with prior roles in design, development, and compliance engineering within telecommunications, industrial automation, and power electronics industries. Responsibilities have included product safety evaluations, regulatory compliance testing, and engineering design across multiple product life cycle stages. Credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer and certifications as a Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI) and Certified Power Quality Professional (CPQ), supporting expertise in electrical systems analysis, fire investigation, and power quality evaluation.
