I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer with hands-on experience in automated machine and heavy equipment manufacturing. I enjoy finding ways to improve manufacturability and serviceability while reducing costs on every project, from straightforward tasks to complex systems. In my role as Applications Engineer, I delivered live software demonstrations both virtually and in person, and I value sharing knowledge through clear, actionable presentations and documentation to help teams succeed. I thrive in collaborative environments, guiding cross-functional teams through design iterations, testing, and deployment. My approach combines practical engineering, strong communication, and a focus on delivering robust, scalable solutions that customers can rely on.
