Who I am
I am one of the many professional engineers looking to make their mark on how society thinks, operates and exists. I am, and hope to always be, part of a great network that consists of my professional collegues and friends. From the web developer that helped me put together this website to the co-workers of present and past, my aim is to use this network of people and knowledge to work toward my efforts of engineering success.

What I do
Automation has been at the forefront of my career since graduating from UCLA. My educational background being in mechanical engineer, robotics and automation were a natural progression when combined with my interests. For the first four years, I worked with a robotics group as a field quality engineer and application design engineer with the goal of continuous improvement of process and ensuring our engineering compliance with our customers. Since then, I have worked in the material handling industry as a field sales / design engineer, eventually transitioning into sales management. Now I aim to serve as the lead of a consultative solutions sales team that helps our clients create more effective and efficient systems to acheive their goals.
Purpose of this site
I created this site is to host a portfolio of projects and articles that I have authored, contributed to or led. My hope is that it serves to provide a well rounded look as to my capabilities and as a resource for knowledge and ideas.
