Principal Optical Engineer & Stray Light Auditor

"Will it fail after we build it?"
"Where are the hidden stray-light paths?"
"Are our assumptions safe for mass production?"
These are the questions that keep hardware teams awake at night.

With 17 years of experience bringing optical systems to mass production, I’ve seen unchecked stray light derail too many projects. Today, my focus is clear: Catch the million-dollar optical mistakes while they are still just pixels.

With 17 years of experience bridging optical simulation and high-volume manufacturing, I’ve seen how unchecked stray light can derail top-tier designs. Today, my mission is simple:

Catch the million-dollar optical mistakes while they are still just pixels!

Seeing What Algorithms Miss

In machine vision, a 99% yield can drop to 80% overnight because of a single, unpredicted ghost reflection. Software engineers will try to fix the AI, but the root cause is almost always physical.
My expertise lies in finding these 'invisible' optical paths before they reach the production line.

Visualizing the Invisible

This simulation highlights a complex ghost reflection path bouncing between multiple lens elements before reaching the detector
These aren't just academic exercises. Finding these paths manually is like finding a needle in a haystack. This is why we developed automated macro scripts to systematically isolate and analyze these critical stray light paths
