# Kaiwen Cheng \- MentorOptiX — Independent Stray Light Auditing: De\-risking Aerospace, LiDAR, and Machine Vision Systems before production.

## About

With 17+ years of experience in optical engineering, I founded MentorOptiX, where I specialize in independent stray light verification for mission-critical optical systems. Leveraging advanced non-sequential ray tracing and statistical scattering models, I help teams identify hidden optical risks—such as stray light, ghosting, and SNR degradation—before they become costly production or validation issues.

I do not compete with internal design teams. Instead, I serve as an independent third-party auditor, using customer-supplied optical parameters and CAD data to deliver rigorous verification reports and decision-support insights. My job is simple: catch the million-dollar optical mistakes while they are still just pixels.

## What I help with

- Optical Engineering and Simulation

## Sessions I offer

- [45\-Min Pre\-Audit Architecture Review](https://www.everyexpert.com/mentoroptix/book/pre-audit-architecture-review) — 45 min, $500.00
  Looking to de-risk your optical system before production? In this 45-min session, we'll review your architecture to identify stray light, ghosting, or SNR risks and outline a third-party verification strategy. \--- PLEASE PREPARE: (1) Context on design phase & risks. (2) Expected outcome. (3) CAD/parameters to screen-share. \--- FEE: $500 USD (plus applicable taxes for Canadian residents). This is 100% credited toward your project if we proceed with a full audit.
