A decade turning ideas into production reality — from aerospace-grade components to a 3D concrete printer built from the ground up. Engineering that scales.
I take products from concept to production — designing the part, building the machine that makes it, and the system that runs the floor.
My career spans defense aerospace, industrial manufacturing, and construction technology. At Frontgrade (formerly CAES) I supported production of motors and controllers bound for orbit and beyond. At SQ4D I led design on a flagship 3D concrete printer and built the company's entire ERP and MRP backbone from scratch.
In between, I founded my own venture and developed a patent-pending touchless faucet system — taking it from sketch to working prototype solo. I'm hands-on with a CNC router and a TIG torch, I've framed and finished a two-story structure with my own hands, and I'm equally comfortable architecting a production system or negotiating a six-figure procurement plan.
From heavy industrial machinery to independent product invention to ground-up construction.
Lead engineer on a full-scale 3D concrete printing system for residential construction. Designed critical subsystems, structural assemblies, and auxiliary systems — then built the production processes and team to manufacture them.
Artist's rendering · NASA/JPL-CaltechContributed to the manufacturing of motor and actuator hardware of the type now operating on NASA's Perseverance rover. CAES actuators drive the rover's wheels and steering, move the high-gain antenna, and deploy the remote-sensing mast — built to survive launch, deep space, and the Martian surface.
A full ground-up construction project I designed and built myself — from pouring the concrete pad through framing, sheathing, roofing, windows, and siding. Real construction experience that bridges directly into industrialized building and modular construction.
An invention built entirely solo. Combining computer vision, gesture recognition, and motion control, I designed and prototyped a faucet that controls temperature, flow, and on/off — all through hand gestures, with zero physical contact.
TIG craftsmanship and structural aluminum fabrication — from a clean, consistent bead to fully welded load-bearing assemblies.
Machining, fabrication, and construction — the hands-on craft behind the engineering.
Open to senior and director-level manufacturing engineering roles across the New York metro area. Always happy to talk shop.
