Senior Electrical Engineer

Transforming Engineering Workflows through AI-Enhanced Development & Process Automation

About Me

Senior Electrical Engineer with 9+ years of experience in PCB design, systems engineering, and process automation across automotive, industrial metrology, and research sectors.

I specialize in transforming engineering workflows through AI-enhanced development, delivering production-level automation tools that save 4.5+ hours per design cycle. Expert in full product lifecycle management from concept through customer shipment, with demonstrated success leading cross-functional teams and delivering customer-facing solutions for Ford Research & Advanced Engineering.

My approach combines technical depth in mixed-signal circuit design, drive-by-wire systems, and embedded platforms with strategic process transformation and AI integration leadership.
