devicepros LLC Information

Devicepros provides engineering leadership and product development across software, firmware, and hardware. Clients include Samsung, Stellus, Micron, Toshiba, e-MSion, and Agilent Technologies. Founder Derrill Sturgeon served as e-MSion's VP of Engineering under contract through Devicepros, leading engineering through its 2023 acquisition by Agilent Technologies. Our biopharma work included instrument software and firmware for top-down analysis and sequencing of large proteins, including antibodies. The team built a protein-analysis viewer that gained significant use among leading researchers, was referenced in scientific publications, and was featured at ASMS. Devicepros began with a one-day-per-week engagement that grew into full-time work and a delivery team. We continued operating the team and serving additional clients. Engagements can begin with a focused technical or leadership need and grow with the work. Our experience includes storage systems, consumer devices, test automation, workload orchestration, ASIC-specific analysis tools, and scientific instruments. We also formed Devicepros Bioinformatics, which e-MSion acquired in a stock transaction before e-MSion's acquisition by Agilent. Derrill previously held engineering leadership roles at SanDisk and Western Digital. His work at SanDisk included an embedded architecture that delivered $30 million in annual savings and a development center that grew from three to more than 100 engineers.
