About
I’m a mechanical engineer with 19+ years of experience in product development, CAD modeling, prototyping, and complex system design. My career spans from nuclear power plant systems engineering to consumer product innovation, with 4 patents and extensive hands-on experience bringing ideas to life.
I specialize in helping inventors, startups, and small companies turn concepts into manufacturable products. With a full workshop and 3D printing capability, I not only design in CAD but can also deliver functional prototypes for real-world testing.
