About Me.
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing mechanical systems across aerospace, industrial equipment, additive manufacturing, and research & development. Proven success leading products from concept through manufacturing by combining mechanical design, structural analysis, rapid prototyping, and Design for Manufacturing (DFMA). Recognized for developing innovative mechanical solutions that reduce cost, improve manufacturability, and solve complex engineering challenges.
I help teams research, create, & evaluate designs that encompass all stakeholder needs of the full product life cycle. I work closely with vendor representatives from Fluke, Creo/PTC, Banner, plus many more to run trial programs that address business needs as well as oversee the design, build, and implementation from large scale to novel in-house solutions, monitoring machine health and reducing runtime failures.
