Starving for more design opportunity, my extra bandwidth was shared with GoPro's Camera Product Development Team from GoPro's Special Products Team.

There was lot's to learn in the world of optics, and I was hungry to dig into the details of GoPro's Optical System. Hitting the ground running, my contributions to the Opto-Mechanical packaging details helped the team achieve the Image Quality performance they desired. I was subsequently absorbed into Opto-Mechanical Team supporting Camera Development.

In this new Opto-Mechanical Engineering role, I was responsible for bridging GoPro Optics development work with GoPro Camera Development work. Working directly with lens suppliers, designing our mount/barrel details to accommodate all of our respective needs, while optimizing sensor board layout and thermal management. The work in this department was immediately rewarding, because of the both measurable and observable impact every detail had on our camera's imaging performance throughout our environmental testing.

The new Session form factor, not only introduced a new Optical System with a shorter Track Length Lens, but new learning abound. Accomplishing the goals set forth by the team, only pushed us to set higher goals moving forward.
