• Led a humanitarian initiative to develop low-cost medical ventilators in response to COVID-19, securing financing and assembling a cross-functional team for rapid execution.• Managed the product lifecycle from ideation through technical development to FDA approval, achieving preproduction trials within a year.• Reduced pre-production sample costs by over 75% compared to conventional offerings by evaluating multiple design approaches while ensuring compliance with evolving federal guidelines.• Implemented enhanced data security measures based on federal Emergency Use Authorization, resulting in a revised electronics architecture that is secured and robust.• Negotiated terms for project acquisition and provided detailed production plans to multiple prospective buyers, facilitating seamless transitions and continued product development.

Rochester, New York Area

Drafted designs and performed load calculations for hospitals, schools, and multi-family residences

Ann Arbor, Mi

• Planned experiments that helped TTC better understand the durability of medium-duty leaf spring suspension systems. Experiments yielded a newer, more accurate standard for testing and evaluating suspension components for current and future vehicles.• Created experiments to launch shopping carts and other projectiles at vehicles for body panel performance metrics.• Participated in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) ride-alongs in pre-production vehicles

Princeton, Indiana

Designed system and planned installation for a paint quality-improving process that saves $20K a year in overall energy costs for the system. This represents an 85% reduction in energy costs.

Princeton, Indiana

Implemented a cost kaizen that saves the company $550K over the life-span of the the part, while improving improving overall paint quality. Through PDCA process was able to implement reduction in system cost of $100K+ annually
