About
Engineering discipline for transformation work.
My career began with mechanical engineering and advanced manufacturing research, then expanded into product lifecycle, supply-chain programs, enterprise workflows, and digital transformation.
I work best where technical constraints, operational risk, and business priorities collide. Regulated MedTech has sharpened that approach; the underlying methods transfer to any industry managing complex products and supply networks.
