    Hello! I specialize in the design and development of structural systems for space and aeronautics applications. My primary consulting services include design, prototyping, testing, and validation. I use specialized methods of inventive thinking, such as TRIZ, to achieve quantifiable results and advance the business goals of my clients. Past projects include flange-gap-monitoring sensors for rocket launch infrastructure, structural-restraint-monitoring sensors for inflatable softgoods (e.g. BEAM on the ISS), and skin form design for blended-wing-body aircraft. I am experienced with NASA SBIR contracts, product licensing, and the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). See my portfolio below for more projects. Product development: DfX, TRIZ, DFMEA, DoE, design of components for space and aeronautics Computational engineering: FEA, CFD/NHT, stress analysis Prototyping services (in-house or contractor): additive manufacturing (FDM, MJF, DMLS), CNC machining, sheet metal, soldering, assembly Familiar software: CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, FreeCAD), Excel, MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, JMP, Gmesh Familiar languages: Python, C++/Arduino, Java, Latex

    I specialize in mechanical engineering design with a focus on industrial automation, custom tooling, and product development. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience in the field, I deliver practical, production-ready designs tailored to real-world manufacturing environments. As a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Machine Design and Materials, I bring a strong commitment to engineering integrity, safety, and performance. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked extensively with Japanese automotive manufacturers and partnered with small local shops to design custom welding fixtures, lifting devices, and specialized jigs. My design approach prioritizes ergonomics, manufacturability, and ease of assembly—ensuring that every solution not only meets technical specifications but also supports efficient production and operator safety. Whether you’re looking for a complex automation system or a one-off tooling solution, I combine deep technical expertise with a practical, hands-on mindset to bring your project from concept to reality with precision and reliability.
