In addition to working full time as an Engineering Manager and Sr Product Development Engineer I have moonlighted as a Engineering Consultant for Diality (Medical Start-Up) and Dwyer Instruments (HVAC Equipment MFR). In these roles I have accomplished many tasks and brought multiple products to fruition.
