Are you developing hardware and want to ensure your parts are manufacturable and cost-effective?

With over 20 years of hands-on experience in metalworking and CNC machining, I specialize in Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and production optimization. My core mission is to help hardware startups and engineering teams avoid expensive design mistakes before they send their parts to the factory.
My Professional Background: Most recently, I served as the Engineering Team Lead at Xometry (a global custom manufacturing platform). In this role, I managed a team of engineers, analyzed complex manufacturing orders, and coordinated production across a global partner network. I also hold an engineering degree in mechanical manufacturing.

How I Can Help Your Business:

DFM Review & Cost Reduction: Comprehensive analysis of your 3D models (SolidWorks) and 2D drawings to identify non-manufacturable features, tight tolerances, or unnecessary complexities that inflate machining costs.

Technical Consulting: Resolving complex technical conflicts between designers and CNC manufacturers. I speak the language of both engineers and machinists.

CNC Machining Expertise: Deep understanding of 5-axis milling, tooling, and CAM programming. I evaluate your designs exactly how a machine shop would.

Manufacturing Estimations: Calculating precise machining time and production costs.

Let's optimize your next hardware project for seamless and cost-efficient production! Feel free to reach out to discuss your requirements.
