I’m a Mechanical Engineer who is passionate about problem solving and product development. I have worked in the Biotech, Medical Device, and Consumer Goods industries. I have brought products from concept to production, with a “fail fast” mentality and a focus on quick turn prototype/testing. Once specifications are developed and initial prototypes are functional, I have managed transfer to manufacturing both in house and externally.

Product Development Philosophy

 

Focusing on how to build something at every phase of design is critical. This goes for things as simple as injection molded components to full system level assemblies. Identifying critical path challenges early in the process allows for a de-risked design later on.
