Dan N is a Field Service Engineer and biomedical engineering graduate student with a physics foundation from Simmons University, blending hands-on hardware design and software development across academia and industry. He has practical experience designing electronics for implantable cochlear implant microphones and focused ultrasound neurosurgery experiments, and currently supports field operations at Lumia while interning in quantum computing at Fermilab. With 24 years of professional experience listed, he brings deep technical maturity and a long-term commitment to engineering practice, particularly in backend and database-focused Java development demonstrated by contributions to the widely used uPortal higher-education open-source portal. Awarded Outstanding Teaching Assistant in physics, he pairs strong communication and mentoring skills with experimental rigor. Equally comfortable writing low-level service code and building lab electronics, he occupies a niche at the intersection of biomedical devices, quantum programming, and backend systems.
