I connect product design, manufacturing, and user needs through technical enablement and product operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Ranch Hand, I build product-ready solutions for truck bumpers and grille guards by connecting design, manufacturing, and production teams.
I created an Excel and PivotTable vehicle-sensor reference database covering Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, GMC, and Toyota truck platforms from 2012 onward, improving fitment research for radar, parking, camera, and blind-spot systems. I also led more than 40 E-Coat readiness updates, translating coating requirements into practical drainage and hanging features.
I enjoy making technical products easier to understand and use. At Strictly Hardcore Surf Specialties, I translated surfboard design, materials, and performance details into recommendations tailored to each customer.
I also created a functional music festival discovery app prototype that matches Apple Music libraries and playlists with festival lineups. I guided its AI-assisted development, testing, and TestFlight preparation using Xcode, the JamBase API, Render, Postgres, VS Code, and GitHub.
