Applications engineer and field deployment leader working with Tier-1 manufacturers across North America to commission AI-driven robotics that perform on the factory floor.
I work at the intersection of robotics, automation, and real-world manufacturing deployment — helping manufacturers turn complex automation challenges into reliable production systems.
My career has focused on applications engineering, robotic integration, and customer-facing technical leadership, working with manufacturers across North America from pre-install audits through commissioning and production ramp-up.
Beyond technical execution, I identify new automation opportunities within facilities, expand deployments, and serve as the primary escalation point when systems go into production. I'm particularly drawn to roles where engineering expertise, customer engagement, and strategic thinking converge.
On-site deployment and commissioning of industrial vision systems supporting manufacturing automation in the Detroit area.
Led deployment of AI-driven 4D robotic vision systems across automotive and consumer goods sites. Onboarded ~2 enterprise customers per month from readiness audit to full production runoff. Managed Tier-1 accounts including P&G, Amazon, Magna, Ford, and Hyundai. Diagnosed production-critical issues involving CAD misalignment, coordinate transforms, PLC faults, and calibration errors.
Led national strategy for igus' automation product line. Managed a team of applications engineers and drove a projected 300% increase in annual sales within six months through targeted market development and technical sales leadership.
Managed Eastern U.S. territory supporting consulting engineers, distributors, and contractors. Contributed to record growth and an 80% increase in customer acquisition. Integrated products into corporate engineering specifications and delivered training across the distributor network.
Designed and installed robotic work cells integrating FANUC, ABB, Kawasaki, and KUKA systems. Generated final drawings, BOMs, and assembly documentation; supervised fabrication through CNC routing, laser cutting, 3D printing, and lathing.
Co-founded an AI-focused nonprofit advocating for responsible innovation and thoughtful AI governance. Organized hackathons, contributed policy articles, and built a network of mentors and industry advisors.
End-to-end cell design and commissioning across FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, and Nachi platforms. Handling, welding, arc, spot, and vision applications.
Field commissioning of 4D robotic vision systems for bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly. Calibration, coordinate frame transforms, and production runoff.
Primary technical escalation for Tier-1 manufacturers. Pre-install audits, cross-functional stakeholder alignment, and long-term account development.
Deep spec-in experience with consulting engineers, distributors, and plant engineering. Technical presentations, competitive displacement, and territory growth.
Diagnosing and resolving production-critical faults: PLC integration, CAD misalignment, I/O mapping, and system calibration under live production pressure.
Kaizen, 5S, Six Sigma, and PFMEA applied across manufacturing environments. Root cause analysis and process improvement with measurable production impact.
