Kee in a few words
Extensive experience in designing and developing consumer electronic products with ability to lead a project from conception to launch. A flexible and cross-functional team-player, I have worked in small teams of one or two engineers and large teams in small and lean companies, start-ups, and large international corporations. I always enjoy learning and facing difficult design challenges.
