Hey there, I'm Richmon! I am a product-focused medical device engineer hoping to apply modern innovations to improve current medical tools.

I started out in research, earning a Bachelor's from the University of Washington and a Master's from Columbia University in the field of biomedical engineering. Throughout my undergraduate degree, I worked at the Folch Laboratory designing medical devices to evaluate the cancer drug efficacy using cultured patient tumor tissue. Academic research taught me to analyze critically and dive deeply into complex problems. These fundamental research skills helped me succeed at start-up companies (Lung Biotechnology/Epibone) at the cutting edge of biomedical technology. I currently work at Johnson & Johnson MedTech (Ethicon) developing the future of wound closure and healing. 

I specialize in bringing new ideas to life — I believe innovation should drive better patient outcomes and the standard of care should only be the starting line. My experience includes:

• CAD design and validation for medical devices (ISO 13485, FDA 820.30).

• Patented engineer/inventor (US-20220355541/US-20220354954).

• Skilled researcher and published co-author (Nature Precision Oncology).

Outside of work, you can find me climbing, playing soccer, or playing board games! Feel free to check out my resume or contact me to learn more.
