Profile

Curious by nature and mechanically minded, with a passion for figuring out how things work and finding ways to make them better.

Experience in manufacturing engineering, fixture design, and process improvement within the metal fabrication industry. Working between design and the production floor provides a hands-on perspective on what works, what doesn’t, and where improvements can be made. From designing fixtures in SolidWorks and improving production processes to troubleshooting root causes and collaborating with design teams, the goal is always the same: make things work better for the people who build and use them.

Drawn to mechanical design, manufacturing, and continuous improvement, with a strong interest in solving difficult problems and learning along the way. Always asking “why,” paying attention to the details, and looking for the next opportunity to improve.
