About
We help companies and innovators move from ideation to existence.
Electronics, firmware, mechanics, manufacturing, compliance, and production processes are littered with handoffs and miscommunications where delays, redesigns, and expensive mistakes compound.
For the past 14 years, I've worked across this landscape, leading products from early architecture and prototyping through certifications, manufacturing, and deployment.
Today, through Aaventi, I work as a Fractional VP of Engineering and Principal Product Architect, providing companies the technical governance required to manage high-stakes R&D.
I provide technical solutions for the full product stack - embedded systems, hardware architecture, mechanical integration, manufacturability, validation, and production readiness.
