I'm a self-taught prototype product developer who thrives on building what doesn’t exist yet. I take ideas from market insight to fully functional hardware — engineering, fabricating, and testing every piece myself. I’ve launched my own successful 3D printer hardware business, filed provisional patents, and created viral community projects that influenced commercial designs.

My background includes developing embedded systems, vehicle-mounted hardware, and functional electromechanical builds — including a smart navigation unit before CarPlay existed, and a sim racing cockpit that's now widely replicated and commercially echoed.

Looking for a hands-on R&D or advanced prototyping role in automotive, aerospace, robotics, or technology-forward consumer products, ideally on a small, fast-moving team solving novel problems.
