I help companies design, prototype, and troubleshoot complex hardware systems, especially where mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control systems must work together reliably in demanding real-world environments. I am a former Head of R&D at Northrop Grumman Marine Systems, with experience in turbines, generators, electric motors, rotating machinery, and large-scale power systems. My work also includes combustion systems, battery systems, power electronics, embedded hardware, and full product development from concept through working prototype. I work with startups and established companies on: - hardware system design - rotating machinery and power systems - combustion, thermal, and fluid systems - battery and embedded hardware - controls, instrumentation, and industrial automation - diagnosing and solving difficult engineering problems I focus on practical, buildable solutions with strong attention to reliability, manufacturability, safety, and system integration. Iโ€™m often brought in when a project needs senior-level engineering direction to move from concept to a working system efficiently. I studied engineering and business at Stanford University and have 20+ years of experience working with venture-backed startups, helping connect engineering decisions to product development, scaling, and execution.

Running a temporary lower billing rate as I launch on this platform. Hi, Iโ€™m am an American U.S. based medical device engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, testing, and validating PCB-level electronics for medical, industrial, military, and R&D applications. I specialize in EagleCAD/Fusion360 (primary) and Altium-compatible designs, and have hands-on experience with micro-soldering and bench-level troubleshooting and repair (facilities can be arranged for the right project). If you need help turning a schematic into a manufacturable board, debugging an existing design, or setting up automated testing for your hardware, I can support you from system concept through prototype, verification, and market release. Transparent communication and regulatory-grade documentation come standardโ€”youโ€™ll always know whatโ€™s been done, whatโ€™s next, and why it matters. Letโ€™s get your design validated and ready to build.
