Career Achievements
Five companies.
Five world-class delivered systems.
WaveCrest Labs
World’s First 225 kW PM Pump Motor & Inverter
Designed, developed, and fabricated the world’s first 225 kW permanent magnet vertical pump motor and converter for the water/wastewater industry. Complete system: motor architecture, power electronics, and control. $100M market opportunity realised. This was not an adaptation — it was a first.
World First
Daikin Applied Americas
500 kW Air-Cooled & 1 MW Water-Cooled Chillers
Led end-to-end power electronics development for commercial chiller systems — air-cooled up to 500 kW and water-cooled up to 1 MW. Full scope: inverter design, Active Harmonic Filters, variable frequency drives, IEEE/IEC compliance, and thermal management. The exact power range Power Flux AI now targets.
1 MW System
Falco eMotors
World’s First 300 Nm HVLS Fan — CARE™ Methodology
Delivered the world’s first 300 Nm HVLS fan platform using the CARE™ (Compressed Accelerated Rapid Engineering) methodology. Results: 75% reduction in development cycle time, 70% reduction in development cost. This is the direct methodological predecessor of the 90-day AI platform Power Flux AI is commercialising today.
75% Faster
ITW
