I'm passionate about leading advanced technology projects and using the best innovation practices in the industry. I also value the opportunity to be dynamically creative with the work I do and be a part of a GREAT TEAM. I thrive in doing front end work where requirements are still left ambiguous or completely unknown. I can lead the exploration in identifying the customer, developing concepts, and creating a system for innovation. I can get extremely nerdy and philosophical on the process of organizing complex technical data into a clear, compelling story for action and the process of building a team to get the work done with high quality. I actually DREAM of one day building a platform for this application. I'm a hyper-visual communicator, and I'm not hesitant to be in front at the whiteboard facilitating technical discussions with engineers, managers, and executives. I'm also an active contributor to improving the creative culture wherever I go (See Senior VP of Space Systems/Loral recommendation below). - Stanford Certified Project Manager (SCPM) - Master's degree in Design Methods from Stanford (Concentration on Innovation and Entrepreneurship) - Continuously studies better design methodologies in innovation and dreams of a perfect design platform Specialties: Responsible Engineering/Lead Engineering/Systems Engineering, Project Management (Raymon E. Levitt, Mark Morgan, William A. Malek), Design Thinking (David Kelley, Larry Leifer, George Kembel, Tim Brown), Design for Manufacturing, User-Centered Design/Human-Centered Design, Human Interface Design, Satellite Design, Brainstorming Facilitation, and Mechanical Engineering.

Technical Product Manager | Responsible Mechanical Engineer @ I was responsible for the ADVANCED antenna mechanical design on the DIRECTV-14 satellite, a two year, multi-million dollar project. I worked closely with the customer, management, electrical engineering, systems engineering, product assurance, analysts, technicians, quality, fabrication, publishing, reliability, and materials and processes (a very cross functional, matrix organization) to design and develop SPECTACULAR ka-band satellite antennas. On the side, I created a grass roots movement advocating principles of creativity and innovation across the company. I gave many personalized tours of the Stanford d.school (design school) to 40+ employees and shared case studies on innovation. Those who were inspired continued the conversation during lunchtime and kept wondering what else could we do for our company? I leveraged their passion and helped them address some of the most complex and interesting challenges in their department: * How do you cut time on the satellite schedule, a massive, interdependent model of highly technical tasks? * How do you speed up the wiring harness development on the satellite? (Another highly complex, dynamic, interdependent, technical process) * How do you speed up (and cut down cost) in developing the composite tower structure on top of the satellite despite all the design and manufacturing standards that exist? Using Design Thinking, TRIZ, Lean, any technique we could incorporate, we aggressively CHALLENGED ASSUMPTIONS, organized our thoughts and kept posing compelling ideas to each other. Eventually, I got senior executives to start hearing these ideas and GOT THEIR ATTENTION. An idea was even funded for official R&D work and the SS/L Brainstorming Group was established! (Please read recommendations below) My many close friends, who also helped create the SS/L Brainstorming Group, are keeping the cultural movement growing.
