Richard Simmons, Maskless Lithography

“Michael performed two consulting design jobs for Maskless Lithography: -- the functional and servo control for an automatic door, using a stepper motor and controller incorporated into an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix controls system, and -- multi-channel thermoelectric cooler hardware and firmware, including the servo-control optimization Michael collaborated seamlessly with our in-house engineers, very quickly understood and scoped the work, and for both jobs he quickly produced full working results and wrapped this up with complete documentation. We have been very happy with Michael's work and would certainly work with him again, Richard Simmons VP, Director of Electrical Engineering Maskless Lithography, Inc”

Ronald Stevens, Sr. Engineering Manager, Applied Materials, Inc.:

“I've worked with Michael on various occasions starting as a peer at Torrex. I continue to use Michael as a consultant for large and small systems engineering projects ranging from large sophisticated automation and control systems for production of solid state lighting solutions at Applied Materials to automated UHP gas delivery systems for robotic welding at Wonik Quartz International. Michael manages and executes projects for tangible results, an asset to all interests.”

 

Robert Cook, Founder, Torrex Equipment Corporation:

“Michael was an early key contributor to my company, Torrex Equipment Corporation. Michael's expertise, professionalism, integrity and honesty combined with his "can do" attitude were major factors in the successful development of the company's new HVM CVD tool. He set the example not only for his own reports but for the entire staff and was respected and admired by all. My experience with Michael began in 1994 when he was working as a consultant, he became the company's first full-time employee and Director of Systems Engineering in 1998 (after venture capital was raised) and remained until Torrex was sold the AMAT in 2004. I would re-hire Michael without hesitation.”
