Hardware is hard. I can help!I've built and scaled mechanical & robotic systems at Amazon from Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Project Manager roles. If you're a hardware start-up in the sustainability space (important), reach out! At Amazon I was a lead engineer designing the next generation of automated logistics solutions. I've designed everything under the (warehouse) roof from manual workstations and robotic workcells to novel warehouse solution architectures solving complex sorting, inventory, packaging, last mile challenges and more. I specialize in all aspects of warehouse automation including AMRs, multi-threaded robotics (think Kiva), conveyor sortation, packaging machinery, robotic workcell design (including end effectors) and much more. Working typically on early stage projects, I've had the opportunity to take products and systems from sketch to reality, securing many patents along the way. Further, I've deployed novel systems and worked through the challenges of turning a prototype into a product that operations can rely on.Outside of work, I enjoy getting my hands dirty and keeping my mechanical engineering skills sharp by designing, fabricating and testing on my own rally car (ARA competitor #802). Motorsport provides a unique, harsh environment unlike logistics as an excuse to exercise a different part of my skillset.
