True to my ENTP profile, I’ve heard many times that I am not the typical engineer. With a personable style, I have a strong sense of both technical and business creativity. Lots of reading helps refine my organizational and leadership skills and my hobbies feed my inventiveness. Drawing from a broad background, ingenuity is central to many of my accomplishments.Having eight patents to my name, I’ve taken products from garage stage through growth in multiple facilities. I’ve worn the hats of Founder, CEO, and CTO which gives me hard-earned and valuable insights that come with the trials and successes of building a company. As such, my experience runs the gamut of raising capital, staffing teams, building labs and sophisticated manufacturing equipment, negotiating stock exchanges, and acquisition/merger work. Past projects encompassed patent writing, market assessment, proof of concept, prototyping, product development, and international manufacturing. As an experienced and innovative engineer, I can often fast-track ideas into practice - so crucial to maintaining production during times of crisis. Whether with management or on the production floor, my engagements foster collaboration regardless of location or language.Specialties: Designing tools for assembly functions, Fast-tracking ideas to implementation, Team integration, Product development, Continuous Improvement initiatives, Manufacturing assessments and Meyers-Briggs.
