Constantly learning to turn an idea into repeatable outcomes into a reliable product.

Being an engineer in a 510k medical device company forced me to quickly adapt in research and development, prototyping, manufacturing, process improvement, QMS environment, user research, and “giving donuts to vendors so company relationship stays good”.
