My experience

Manufacturing transfer

End-to-end production transfer

I manage the transfer of complete production lines to turnkey contract manufacturers, on tight timelines. Project managementMilestone trackingContract manufacturers Read moreShow less

Challenge

Complete production lines had to move, on tight timelines, to partners who were not there when the products were designed.

Approach

  • Manage scope, budget, risks and dependencies, with strict timeline management and milestone tracking
  • Own product delivery to the customer for complex systems
  • Lead cross-functional teams and engage stakeholders across Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain and Quality
  • Primary technical and operational interface for contract manufacturers and suppliers
  • Knowledge transfer: documentation, assembly, integration and ATP procedures, tooling, jigs and testers

Outcome

Complete production lines transferred to turnkey contract manufacturers, with complex systems built there and delivered to customers.

NPI and production readiness

Production readiness for next-generation products

I lead NPI for products still in development: DFM, cost reduction and production readiness. NPIDFMCost reductionIndustrialization Read moreShow less

Challenge

A finished design is not yet a buildable product. Everything the line needs must be ready together and match the current revision.

Approach

  • Lead engineering and operational readiness for next-generation products under development
  • Lead DFM analysis and cost-reduction activities while maintaining product quality and manufacturability
  • Run documentation, assembly, integration and ATP procedures, tooling, jigs and testers in parallel with design

Outcome

Production readiness is built alongside the design, so documentation, tooling and testers are ready together and match the current revision.

Process automation and AI

Konfirm: automated checks on engineering changes

I built an app that checks engineering changes for PLM and DFM issues and can implement them in Arena automatically. Arena PLMDFMPythonAI-assisted development Read moreShow less

Challenge

Change orders carry many small details: revisions, title blocks, BOMs, materials, finishes, 3D models. Checked by hand, mistakes are easy to miss.

Approach

  • Checks the engineering package for PLM implementation issues (files, revisions, BOMs) and DFM issues (material and finish callouts, 3D-model geometry), with the evidence for every finding
  • Implements the change order in Arena PLM automatically instead of by hand: the plan is shown first, and nothing is written until it is confirmed
  • Reviews ECOs already implemented in Arena against their engineering package
  • Built in Python and JavaScript with Claude as a coding assistant

Outcome

Adopted across departments as a one-click desktop app: change orders are checked and implemented by the tool instead of by hand, with evidence for every finding.

What I bring

  • Engineering depth

    I started in mechanical design of complex multidisciplinary systems, so I bring strong analytical skills and understand the technical details behind the programs I lead.

  • Getting teams aligned

    I bring engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers together around shared priorities and production readiness.

  • Practical automation

    I build software tools that reduce repetitive checks and make engineering workflows faster and more reliable.
