I graduated from the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities with a Ph.D. in Thermal and Fluids (Mechanical Engineering). I have 7 journal publications and 4 patents, but I am mostly proud that I have helped over 70 clients over the past four years design and produce products, helping them make tens of millions of dollars. Having worked in a high-tech Fortune 500 company as well as in a manufacturing company as the chief engineer in the US, then leading Originex on product development and sourcing in China for 6 years, I am an expert in the following areas: • Sourcing from China and supply chain management and optimization • Consumer product development • Commercial systems and equipment design and engineering • Production automation system procurement • Amazon FBA Taking advantage of the depth of my technical skills and the rich experience I have gained over a broad range of projects, I help brands and companies in developed markets source and develop products and equipment cheaper, faster, and better out of China and other low-cost countries.

I’m a mechanical and mechatronics engineer with 7+ years of professional experience in R&D, developing products from concept through prototyping till production-ready CAD and engineering drawings for real-world manufacturing. My primary CAD platform is SolidWorks, which I use in my day job for creating well-toleranced parts, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings with proper GD&T and DFM considerations. I also work comfortably in Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360, and regularly support clients operating in mixed CAD environments or with existing or legacy files. Clients typically bring me in when they need someone who can work from rough sketches, photos, reference parts, or incomplete requirements, make sound engineering decisions early, and deliver clear, buildable designs that manufacturers understand the first time. I’m a CSWP-certified SolidWorks professional, with additional advanced certifications in Sheet Metal, Surfacing, and Drawing Tools, applied on real production and prototyping projects. My experience spans medical devices, energy systems, automation equipment, and industrial prototyping, where accuracy and manufacturability matter. Recent work includes: Developing a proof-of-concept hinge assembly with integrated load sensing, designed with downstream safety and manufacturability in mind Contributing to the mechanical design and prototyping of a next-generation EEG medical device Optimizing the design of an IP65-rated sheet metal enclosure for an EV charger, with a focus on sealing, manufacturability, and compliance If you’re looking for a reliable mechanical engineer who thinks beyond geometry, including tolerances, assemblies, and manufacturing consequences, I’m happy to support your project on an ongoing or as-needed basis.
