Hello!
I build hardware that ships. My sweet spot is where human factors, mechanical design, and fast iteration meet. I work end-to-end: concept → CAD/FEA → prototyping → validation → DFM/DFA handoff—partnering closely with EE/SW, reliability, and operations.
I've contributed to medical devices, automotive seating at Tesla, and wearables like a prosthetic pointe shoe. I care about clear problem framing, data-driven decisions, and simple mechanisms that perform reliably at scale. I thrive in product teams at Apple, Meta, Google, or Tesla—where craftsmanship, rigor, and user empathy matter.
- Strengths: CAD & FEA (3DX/CATIA, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, ANSYS), GD&T & tolerance stacks, design reviews, and test bring-up.
- Build: Rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting), acoustic fixture design, material characterization, lab instrumentation, EMG/IMU prototypes.
- Software: MATLAB/Python for analysis (NumPy, Pandas), Monte Carlo simulations, signal processing (EMG), Arduino/C/C++, HTML/JS for tooling, Unity, Unreal Engine 5 for XR/VR simulation and visualization.
