Process improvement
Partnered in a six-month FARAPULSE material-flow Kaizen that reduced incoming material errors by more than 70%.
Global operations | Supplier engineering
Improving processes, developing suppliers, and getting production ready.
I bring 18+ years across global operations, manufacturing, and supply chain, including PCBA and electromechanical supplier work. I connect supplier capability, quality, and capacity with production needs.

Where I contribute
Improve the process. Strengthen the supplier. Prepare for production.
My work at Boston Scientific and 3M spans material flow, supplier performance, engineering changes, and manufacturing scale-up.
Supplier development
Implemented a global supplier-performance program at 3M covering more than 30 outsourced vendors, with consistent reviews and improvement planning.
Production readiness
Led PCBA industrialization at Boston Scientific, verifying qualified processes, inspection controls, documentation, and training with contract manufacturers before release.
Digital tools + selected projects
Practical tools, built with an operator's perspective.
I also build analytics tools and working applications. From BOM risk preparation to supplier-change guidance, I use AI to reduce manual work while retaining judgment and review.
Explore my operations experienceTrailScope and Poolhouse show how I turn requirements into working applications, test difficult states, and maintain what ships.
TrailScope
A local-first trail workout app spanning Android, Wear OS, bounded route import, watch sync, checkpoint-backed recording, and local GPX/FIT output.
- Role
- Product direction; Android, Wear OS, and release tooling.
- Stack
- Kotlin, Android, Wear OS, GPX/FIT, Health Connect.
- Outcome
- Bounded input-to-local-output lifecycle with watch sync and checkpoint recovery.
Poolhouse
A cross-platform sports pool app spanning web and mobile, multiple pool formats, validated picks, automated score synchronization, recoverable standings, and private groups.
- Role
- Product ownership; workflow and data design, AI-assisted implementation, and stewardship.
- Stack
- Expo, React Native, TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, web and mobile.
- Outcome
- Validated picks, automated scores, private-group access, and recoverable standings.
Interactive proof
Operate the state and recovery decisions behind the work.
The Product Systems Lab turns public TrailScope and Poolhouse workflows into deterministic simulations with visible rules, blocked actions, and event histories.
Open the Product Systems LabAbout
Technical depth, cross-functional perspective, and follow-through.
I work across sourcing, quality, manufacturing, planning, and suppliers to understand the constraints and move improvements forward. My background combines mechanical engineering, hands-on process work, and supplier leadership.
Writing
Notes on state, recovery, and product trust.
Technical notes make the state, recovery, and simulation decisions behind the work easier to inspect.
Designing trusted state for sports pools
A practical note on validation, lock windows, automated scoring updates, standings, and private pool boundaries where user trust depends on clear state.
Read trusted-state noteDesigning local-first product flows that survive interrupted state
A practical note on files, device sync, recovery, offline behavior, and user trust in workflows where a clean happy path is too small.
