From CAD and prototyping to manufacturing and supporting a base of over 1,000 satisfied customers.
I am a Engineer specializing in early-stage hardware problem definition and technical risk reduction. Works upstream of development to expose hidden system risks, clarify ambiguous problem spaces, and evaluate unconventional approaches through physical experimentation. Most effective when decisions are costly to reverse. Rapidly externalizes ideas through hands-on prototyping to validate mechanisms, interactions, and system behavior before committing to direction.
