AboutMe
Senior Project Engineer and Technical Lead with 15+ years of experience delivering sophisticated mechatronic systems from concept through industrialization and series production. I specialize in product design, consumer electronics, and rapid hardware development, merging mechanical and hydraulic system expertise with deep embedded systems literacy to drive cross-domain integration across hardware, software, and controls.
My approach is rooted in design thinking and creative problem-solving. I possess a proven ability to navigate risk-based technical trade-offs and manage complex supplier networks under compressed timelines and evolving requirements. By aligning feasibility and validation strategies with manufacturing excellence, I transform complex technical problems into manufacturable physical products.
"The thing about goals is having one!"
Creative Problem Solving
I thrive in complex, cross-functional environments where technical trade-offs are the norm. My approach is defined by rapid adaptability—leveraging a deep toolkit of engineering methodologies to Bring Ideas to Life.
End-to-End Realization
From initial concept sketches to PCB layout and 3D printed functional prototypes, I ensure every project is optimized for both rapid validation and eventual mass production.
