I have always been drawn to engineering and the idea of building things that improve the world around us. As a child, I was fascinated by invention and technology. Engineering felt like the path that could turn ideas into something real and useful.

I went on to earn my degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Like many engineers starting their careers, I initially imagined a future focused on design and invention. Instead, my career developed in the world of manufacturing quality, where I discovered how important it is to ensure that great ideas can actually survive the realities of production.

Over the past fourteen years I have worked in manufacturing quality, beginning with inspection and working through roles that eventually led to managing quality systems and teams. That experience gave me a broad view of how products move from concept to production and where problems most often arise.

Through that work I developed expertise in areas such as metrology, GD&T, root cause analysis, supplier quality, and quality management systems. More importantly, I learned how critical it is to connect engineering intent with the practical realities of manufacturing.

Today my focus is helping organizations bridge the gap between proof of concept and production. A prototype proves that an idea can work. Turning that idea into a product that can be manufactured consistently, delivered on schedule, and meet customer expectations requires careful planning, clear processes, and strong collaboration between engineering and manufacturing teams.

My approach emphasizes critical thinking, practical solutions, and systems that support the people responsible for executing them. Whether the challenge involves supplier quality, inspection strategies, documentation, or manufacturing readiness, the objective is always the same: ensure that the final product meets or exceeds expectations.

If you are developing a new product or facing challenges as you move toward production, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I may be able to support your team.
