About

I am a mechanical engineer and product designer with hands-on experience delivering hardware from concept through mass production for Apple, Sonos, and Amazon Robotics. I thrive at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and cross-functional teamwork to create reliable, user-focused products.

In my roles, I lead with curiosity and a data-driven mindset, prototyping electro-mechanical subsystems, coordinating with suppliers across Asia, and guiding teams through design reviews and manufacturing validations. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges by turning ideas into practical, scalable solutions.
