About

About Me

With almost a decade of experience in engineering design, I work the whole stack: CAD and mechanical design, embedded software, and modern web platforms. I focus on clear communication, practical tradeoffs, and shipping work you can maintain.

  • CAD & mechanical design

    Solid modeling, assemblies, and design-for-manufacturing for prototypes and small runs.

  • Software engineering

    Building modern, responsive websites using the latest technologies.

  • Embedded & firmware

    Bare metal software solutions, custom SBC stacks, and more. Extensive experience soldering multi-board assemblies and custom modifications including piggybacks.

Workflow

My Process

A streamlined approach to bringing your vision to life

Initial consultation

I align with you on goals, constraints, timeline, and what β€œdone” looks like for your project.

Plan & tradeoffs

I propose a lean path: milestones, risks, and what to validate first - before writing too much code or CAD.

Build & iterate

Short delivery cycles with demos and feedback. You stay in the loop; I adjust as we learn.

Test & harden

Exercise the real failure modes: performance, edge cases, and integration points that matter.

Contact

Let's talk

Tell me what you're building, your timeline, and what success looks like. I'll follow up with questions, a proposed scope, or a quick call. Whichever fits.

Availability
Monday – Friday (US Eastern). Remote availability with cloud-first delivery. On-site is by appointment only.

Our Location

Philadelphia area, USA

Find answers to common questions about our services and process

Typical work spans web apps and internal tools (TypeScript, APIs, Astro or similar), firmware and bring-up on embedded targets, and CAD or mechanical design when the problem crosses hardware and software. If it is not a fit, I will say so early.
We start with a short discovery call and a written scope: milestones, risks, and what success looks like. Then we iterate in small loops with demos, feedback, and adjustments so surprises stay small and decisions stay informed.
Most work is remote and async-friendly, with scheduled checkpoints. On-site or lab time can make sense for hardware bring-up, fixtures, or tight integration weeks. We can plan that when it matters.
By default you own deliverables paid for under the agreement. Details belong in the contract (NDA, license, and handoff). I am happy to align with your legal or procurement process.
