Greetings, I hold a Ph.D. and I am a seasoned patent analyst, 3D modeler, inventor and product designer in New York. I have provided technical writing and illustrations for over 100 patents for 'pro se' inventors who represent themselves to the patent office. I hold a paralegal certificate and I often work under the supervision of attorneys, collaborate with engineers and innovators. I can go from design work to reverse engineering (using scanners), to prototype printing (8k resolution, resin and filament 3D printers), to fabrication drawings. I have also drafted user manuals and technical documentation and perform artificial intelligence prompt engineering. I am also a scientific author and illustrator specializing in technical writing, medical illustrations, statistics, grant writing, CAD drawings, proof-of-concept designs, as well as parametric mechanical designs. I utilize subscriptions for both AutoCADLT and Fusion360 routinely. I only accept a limited number of projects at a time so that I can maintain the quality and quick turnaround my clients have come to expect. Please know that I am NOT an attorney OR a registered patent agent, and I do NOT dispense legal advice or represent ANYONE to the USPTO - I only write technical content for those who chose to file themselves and my work is educational in nature. Thank you.

I secure funding and win government contracts for nonprofits, startups, and businesses ready to scale their impact and revenue. Whether you're pursuing competitive grants, responding to complex RFPs, or establishing nonprofit compliance, I transform your capabilities into winning proposals that deliver essential resources and sustainable growth. My Track Record: Over three years, I've secured more than $2.8 million in grant funding and developed proposals for government contracts ranging from $100,000 to $12 million. My clients span energy, healthcare, housing, facility management, public safety, and social services sectors. With 91% Job Success and Top Rated Plus status across 80+ completed projects, I deliver results that matter. What I Do: I craft compelling grant proposals for federal agencies (DOE, NIH, HUD, USDA, SAMHSA), foundations, and corporations. I translate technical innovation and programmatic vision into narratives that align with funder priorities and secure awards. Beyond federal opportunities, I conduct strategic funding research and manage complete application lifecycles from concept through submission. For government contracting, I develop compliance-driven proposals that position you as the contractor of choice. I navigate SAM.gov registration, decode complex RFP/RFQ solicitations, develop technical and management volumes demonstrating capability, create detailed cost proposals, and build comprehensive compliance matrices. My contract experience includes facility management operations worth $11.7 million, digital infrastructure, law enforcement coordination, transportation services, and professional consulting. I also provide complete 501(c)(3) formation services including IRS applications, bylaws development, and state registrations for organizations establishing nonprofit status. What Sets Me Apart: My dual expertise in grant acquisition and government contracting gives you a strategic advantage—I understand how agencies evaluate both programmatic funding and procurement proposals. I bring deep knowledge of federal compliance frameworks including Federal Acquisition Regulation, OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific requirements. This means your proposals meet the technical standards that separate funded projects and awarded contracts from rejected submissions. My Approach: I identify competitive differentiators, anticipate evaluator questions, structure narratives for maximum scoring impact, collaborate to incorporate your expertise, and manage aggressive deadlines without compromising quality. Clients choose me because I deliver proven results, communicate clearly, and understand that behind every application is an organization working to create meaningful change or sustainable growth. Whether you need a grant writer who understands funder priorities, an RFP strategist who can win competitive contracts, or a comprehensive funding consultant who navigates complex opportunities, I bring the technical expertise, strategic insight, and persuasive documentation that transforms organizational capacity into funded programs and awarded contracts.
