My Approach

How I Approach Systems

1

Understand the Full Workflow

Analyze the system from end to end.

2

Find the Real Bottleneck

Identify constraints limiting performance.

3

Simplify the System

Remove complexity and reduce decisions.

4
</>

Automate Repeatable Decisions

Use controls and software for consistency.

5

Measure the Results

Validate improvements with real data.

Cross-Disciplinary Engineering

Full-Stack Physical Systems

Many engineering problems are not purely mechanical, electrical, or software problems. I build across disciplines when it creates a simpler, more reliable system.

Mechanical Systems

Industrial equipment, motion systems, fixtures, structures, and fabrication-aware design.

Controls & Automation

BACnet, Modbus, DAQ systems, automated validation, production test sequencing, and control workflows.

Software & Data

Operator-guided workflows, test orchestration, data capture, browser dashboards, reports, and traceability systems.

Embedded Electronics & PCBs

Custom embedded controllers and PCB designs when off-the-shelf hardware adds complexity or limits the workflow.

Machine Vision

Vision-Based Automation When Sensors Add Complexity

I use machine vision when it simplifies the system: reducing dedicated sensors, eliminating extra moving equipment, adapting to unit-specific geometry, and improving test consistency through software-based validation.

Fan Rotation & Direction

End-of-line testing uses vision to verify fan rotation and direction without adding dedicated sensors to every fan location.

Safety Guard Verification

Leak testing uses vision to confirm required safety guards are present before automated pressure testing begins.

Software Adapts to Each Unit

Instead of moving fixtures or installing sensors for every variation, software identifies where components should be for the exact unit.

Less Hardware, Better Reliability

Reducing mechanical motion and dedicated sensors simplifies the station, improves durability, and produces more repeatable results.
