01Profile

I understand both sides of manufacturing: designing something on a computer, and knowing how it will actually be built on the floor.

My path has moved from fabrication and CNC production toward mechanical design and manufacturing engineering. That progression gives me a practical lens on drawings, tolerances, tooling, sequence, quality, and throughput.

I am at my best where engineering meets execution: solving a fit-up issue, improving a process, preparing a clean CNC file, or helping a team turn an idea into a reliable part.
