Years turning engineering intent into manufacturable hardware
From early mechanism concepts to supplier-ready drawings and validation plans, I work across the full physical product loop.

01 - Thermal thinking / structural precision
Shape the
heat. Hold the load.
I design mechanical systems where thermal behavior, force paths and manufacturability have to work together. ThermoTrellis turns engineering evidence into hardware that behaves predictably in the real world.

02 / Profile
Engineering
with fingerprints.
Good mechanical design is a connected lattice: geometry influences stress, material changes thermal behavior, manufacturing constrains geometry, and testing closes the loop.

A / 04Production
I favor simple load paths, explicit assumptions, clean interfaces and test plans that expose failure modes before production does.
03 / Expertise
The thermal
trellis.
Expertise is presented as an engineering lattice rather than percentage bars: each discipline connects to the others in a real product workflow.
Mechanisms
Linkages, cams, motion conversion, bearings, shafts and tolerance-aware assemblies.
Thermal
Heat transfer, thermal paths, cooling concepts and test-driven temperature control.
Analysis
FEA, hand calculations, tolerance stack-ups, root-cause analysis and design verification.
Production
GD&T, DFM/DFA, supplier communication, drawings, prototypes and manufacturing reviews.
04 / Selected projects
Proof in
the hardware.
Case studies focus on the engineering problem, the intervention and the evidence that the resulting system was ready for the next stage.
CASE / 001 · THERMAL
Compact enclosure cooling redesign.
Reworked the internal heat path, mounting geometry and airflow strategy for a constrained electronics enclosure. Thermal modelling was paired with instrumented prototype testing before the release design was frozen.
CASE / 002 · MECHANISM
Low-friction actuator linkage.
Reduced side loading through a revised linkage geometry and bearing interface, simplifying assembly while preserving the required travel envelope.
TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes
DevOps Dashboard
Unified deployment and monitoring dashboard.
05 / Experience
Built across
the loop.
A career path spanning product development, mechanical design, manufacturing collaboration and validation.
Senior Mechanical Engineer · Northstar Devices
Lead mechanism and thermal design for compact electromechanical products, coordinate prototype builds and drive design reviews through verification.
Mechanical Design Engineer · Meridian Motion
Developed assemblies, production drawings and tolerance schemes for motion-control hardware while partnering closely with manufacturing suppliers.
Product Development Engineer · Fieldline Engineering
Supported concept generation, rapid prototyping, test fixtures and root-cause investigations for early-stage hardware programs.
