About

Passionate about finding unique solutions to complex problems by leveraging computers and emerging technology. My interests for how things work cover many facets of engineering, but I am particularly fascinated by space, automotive, robotics, artificial intelligence, energy, and the technology that has advanced these areas over the last decade. I believe the largest factor to winning against competition is being able to deliver innovative results that push the boundaries of what's possible.

Experience

AND Technology

Team Lead, Solutions Engineering

2023 - Present

Took responsibility for an undocumented product line after previous lead's departure. This resulted in continuing support for these products and continued sales to multiple customers across the United States. Provided a solution to a customer that we failed to correctly upgrade a system on, resulting in an additional ~$50k order and additional updates that fixed all previous issues and provided a robust system with additional desired functionality. Commissioned and supported an initial one week upgrade over four months, until a fully working solution was provided that resulted in the customer purchasing an additional 3 system upgrades. Designed and commissioned battery test systems for customers. Managed team progress and plans for improvement, and coordinating with project managers to delegate resources to projects.
