ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP WITH A PROVEN TRACK RECORD

I’m a licensed Professional Engineer (licensed in six US States) with extensive experience driving mechanical engineering innovation, from concept to production. With almost two decades at Starbucks Coffee Company and others from diverse industries, I led cross-disciplinary teams to deliver cutting-edge retail systems, blending technical expertise with strategic vision.

SYSTEM-ORIENTED PROBLEM SOLVER

My career is built on tackling complex challenges. I’ve designed water recovery systems saving 60 gallons daily, developed reliability programs boosting preproduction testing equipment MTTR from 50 to 92 days, and authored patents optimizing manufacturing and product performance.

TEAM BULDER AND MENTOR

Leading teams of over ten engineers, I’ve fostered collaboration and accountability while mentoring junior talent. My work spans R&D, product development, and process standardization, cutting time-to-market by up to a year.

GLOBAL PROJECT EXPERTISE

From Chicago, Shanghai to Milan, I’ve delivered high-capacity systems (e.g., 1000 gpd water distribution) meeting diverse company MEP standards. My experience with suppliers ensures manufacturability and high-yield production.

INNOVATOR ACROSS INDUSTRIES

Beyond Starbucks, I’ve impacted medical devices (hemodialysis bloodlines and needle sets at Medisystems) and industrial systems (Magnadrive couplings and Gast Manufacturing air compressors). My Six Sigma Green Belt and CAD proficiency enhance my technical leadership.
