About

Electrical engineer and NPI program manager with over a decade of experience taking mission-critical hardware from concept through production, with a background spanning intercontinental sourcing, qualification, and supplier management across global manufacturing networks. My work sits at the intersection of electrical and power systems engineering, cooling infrastructure, hardware qualification, and large-scale deployment — in environments where uptime is non-negotiable and the technical decisions made early in the NPI cycle determine whether programs succeed at scale.
