What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on engineering leadership roles where I can drive electromechanical product development, lead cross-functional teams, optimize manufacturability, and deliver reliable systems at scale.

I am a mechanical engineer with deep experience in electromechanical design, thermal systems, and system integration across product development, manufacturing, and field deployment. I have led technical teams as a VP Engineering and as a technical lead, owning design, analysis, validation testing, and production for multiple commercial and aerospace products.

My achievements include developing a helium chiller for cryogenic leak testing, saving $1.5M and 14 months through modular prototyping strategies, delivering hundreds of flight units, overseeing production of thousands of commercial units, and deploying large-scale electromechanical systems in international field environments. I combine CAD/FEA/CFD proficiency with hands-on manufacturing optimization, vendor management, and requirements-driven productization to deliver robust, manufacturable systems.
