What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can lead product development and prototyping for automotive or industrial products, drive manufacturability, quality, and cost improvements.

I am a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 13 years of focused experience designing and prototyping automotive instrument clusters, gauges, ECUs and displays. I combine hands-on 3D solid and surface modeling with expertise in DFMEA, DFSS and statistical quality methods to deliver robust, manufacturable products.

At Continental Automotive R&D I led mechanical engineering teams, coordinated international and offshore collaborators, and managed projects from concept through PPAP and customer validation, achieving cost reductions and IP development (US8926108B2).

In my current role as Operations Director I manage operations, network infrastructure and HR functions for an ISP, demonstrating leadership across engineering, manufacturing support and operational management with immediate availability to contribute to automotive or engineering teams.
