Industry Employment

Why is my industry employment history not here?

1. All of my professional work over the last few years is covered by NDAs and other legal documents.

2. If I'm helping you with your startup's new assay, or helping you build the next amazing workcell, you should want that same confidentiality.

3. I've also gotten spammy contacts from having my employment history on LinkedIn. The minor increase in leads is not worth the process of vetting inbounds from social media.

My industry employment is available in PDF or Word format upon request by emailing HERE

Even better than a list of places I've worked? References from happy customers and collaborators. I'm happy to provide those upon request as well.
