I enjoy solving complex problems and creating products that people love.

Mechanical Design Engineer,
Product Development Engineer

I have been around an engineering environment since childhood. I come from a family of mechanical engineers, so I have been pulling things apart and fixing them for as long as I can remember.
What excites me most about my job is the opportunity to solve complex problems and create functional, high-quality products. I am deeply interested in understanding the "whys" and "hows" behind each problem, which helps me find practical solutions. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me fly fishing or hiking in New Zealand's stunning backcountry.
