Developing products and better ways to work

I enjoy the work between an idea and something people can actually use. That includes R&D, product development, prototyping, testing, and figuring out how to manufacture something consistently. I’ve helped develop and launch two well-completion product lines, working through the processes, equipment, quality controls and training needed to bring them into production.

The systems behind the products interest me just as much. My work includes Manufacturing Execution System (MES) applications, ERP integration, PLC-controlled systems, and real-time monitoring across manufacturing sites. I’m interested in connecting what happens on the shop floor with the people making decisions—giving teams a clearer view of production, quality, equipment performance and where things need attention.

That curiosity extends to industrial IoT, robotic automation and AI: understanding where they can improve a process, reduce repetitive work or help people do their jobs better. Some of this builds on systems I’ve worked with; some is part of what I’m continuing to explore.

I like getting into the details with the people who know the work. A design, a prototype or an application teaches you something when you put it to the test. You find what’s missing, listen to the feedback, and make it better.

I bring industry experience into defining product problems, shaping requirements and deciding what to build next. I use AI to develop and test ideas, build working prototypes, and refine them through feedback from the people who will use them.
