 – I have been involved in Engineering since 2005, when I got my first job as a machinist for a company that built components for major defense contractors. I earned a degree in Optical Sciences & Engineering from the [University of Arizona’s Optics Department](https://optics.arizona.edu/)
, with minors in Mathematics & Mechanical Engineering. I spent about 4 years in Silicon Valley working at a LiDAR company that builds sensors for self-driving cars. I founded LaserSafetyCertification.com in 2016, and have really enjoyed providing essential safety certification services for businesses around the country. We specialize in online & in-hand certification for laser safety across all industries including fabrication, laboratory, healthcare & cosmetic.
