PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse group of medical device manufacturers with an emphasis on providing electro-mechanical design and process automation expertise. These companies include early stage, venture backed start-ups to established Fortune 500 corporations.
My focus is on developing manufacturing/test solutions to support production, as well as R&D. I specialize in creating technically innovative process solutions for the manufacture/test of Class I, II, & III medical devices while managing all phases of development, from initial concept through project completion.
