Profile
I'm a product development engineer with ten years in medical devices and consumer hardware. My work starts with the physics and ends on the production line: concept architecture, analysis, prototype validation and transfer to contract manufacturers.
I like small teams, clear specs and measurable results — every case study below has a number attached.
- 42%42% reduction in unit cost on an insulin pen platform.
- 1.2M1.2M units shipped from a design transferred to two contract manufacturers.
- 3×3× drop-test survival after a housing rib redesign.
