## About

```text
At Robogistics LLC, I led the mechanical engineering team designing robotic systems for material handling. I spearheaded the design, development, and implementation of a greenfield single gantry robot tailored for the tire industry.

I established engineering design workflows, including ECR and ECO processes, and helped scale the department through hiring, onboarding, and training. I also coordinated mechanical, electrical, software, and deployment teams.

At Douglas Machines Corporation, I designed custom commercial washing and sanitizing equipment and led a warranty redesign of a standard conveyor belt. I also collaborated on product designs and new product development.

At Mettler Toledo PIUS, I designed more than 100 custom weighing and package-handling machines, with 85% OTD, 82% FPY, and zero warranty issues. I also standardized components to cut costs by 60% and improved manufacturing throughput during my Lean Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op.
