About
I design production-ready tooling and manufacturing solutions with both technical rigor and human factors in mind.
With 12+ years of experience in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, I’ve delivered tools, fixtures, and electromechanical systems for medical device and consumer product teams, supporting design transfer, supplier coordination, and production ramp-up — often in remote or distributed environments.
My approach is people-centered: tools are designed for safe, intuitive use by operators, with clear documentation and predictable behavior. This reduces training burden, error rates, and downstream quality risk.
