Product Development Services
My experience covers a broad scope of development levels, from initial concept generation through final manufacturing and production release. I have worked in many industries including Consumer electronics, Commercial Lighting, and Industrial Robotics. With this wide variety, I have an equally diverse network that I am able to call upon to add further context and insight to my personal skills. Using my breadth of skills, I am often able to incorporate final design and manufacturing elements early in development which has helped to reduce turnaround time and production delays.
