How I Work

Engineering Mindset

My work centers on understanding real industrial problems before reaching for a solution — investigating root causes on the shop floor, designing for manufacturability, validating through rapid prototyping, and implementing changes that hold up in production. Every project is judged the same way: did it make the system safer, more reliable, and easier to maintain.

Featured Projects

Four projects that show the same underlying process: identify the real problem, design a practical solution, validate it, and implement it.

Copper plate extension CAD assembly on the electrocoating barrel
Implemented in Production

Manufacturing Equipment Redesign

Copper Plate Extension for Electrocoating Barrel

Relocated the electrical connection point on a rotating electrocoating barrel outside the assembly, eliminating dangler damage and cutting maintenance complexity.

Interested in working together?

I'm always glad to talk through a design problem, an open role, or a project that needs a practical, manufacturing-minded engineer.
