What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead end-to-end hardware product development, drive innovation and patents, scale pilot production to mass manufacturing, and work with global suppliers in collaborative teams.

I am a mechanical engineer with over a decade of experience delivering end-to-end product development across consumer products, electronics, automotive, renewable energy, and IoT devices.

I lead mechanical design efforts using SolidWorks and Ansys, produce prototypes with 3D printing, run validation testing, and drive manufacturability and cost reductions—achieving 20% cost savings and 25% faster time-to-market through simulation and optimization.

I have international supplier and partner experience (Asia, US, Brazil), led pilot-to-mass production transitions, negotiated supplier contracts exceeding US$5M, and own 15+ patents with multiple product launches and awards.

I thrive building multidisciplinary teams, preparing technical documentation for patents and homologation, and delivering practical, cost-effective innovations from concept to market.
