About

Bringing a new product to market is challenging endeavor which can make or break a company. As a fellow founder I've persisted through this struggle, leading my company to deploy products in North America, set up mass production in China, raise over $2M in funding, and reduce cost by 64%

Why risk the unknown? I aim to help people and companies avoid hidden pitfalls and accelerate their product from initial idea to mass market release. If you have an idea that you want to bring to life I can help!

I'm a professional engineer with a range of experience including:
- Leading engineering, design, and research of first to market products.
- Developing of intellectual property, patents, and IP protection strategy.
- Accelerating prototypes with fabricators, 3D printing, and simulation.
- Ensuring product performance to CSA, UL, and user and requirements.
- Building relationships with suppliers in China, India, Canada and United States.
- Facilitating production, assembly and international shipping logistics
- Leading R&D initiatives with universities, labs, and consultants
- Raising investment from VC firms in Canada and US

Let's work together to make your dream the next big thing!
