Emerson Kirby.

Research driven product builder

I build products spanning signal processing, digital health, software, and connected hardware. I can discuss experimental design with researchers, implementation details with engineers, and product strategy with founders.

I combine analytical thinking with creative problem solving, but at the end of the day, my goal is singular: build proven & effective products.

You can reach me by and on LinkedIn & GitHub.

Notes from clients, partners, and users

"His expertise was super valuable with his out the box thinking and resourcefulness accelerating our technical progress."

"We had the pleasure working with Emerson on developing a medical device for incontinence management. Emerson brought both a strong technical and business lens to the development process. As a small start up, his expertise was super valuable with his out the box thinking and resourcefulness accelerating our technical progress. He was also a highly trusted source in helping us hire and lead technical staff. Would love the opportunity to work with Emerson again. Highly recommended."

"Emerson has a unique balance of technical expertise with the ability to communicate in a non-technical way."

He's an exceptional problem-solver and continually worked to optimize Lightheart's functionality and aesthetic. Emerson has a unique balance of technical expertise with the ability to communicate in a non-technical way. This allowed Emerson to translate our validated physiological data into code which significantly increased Lightheart's accuracy."
