Background
My career has always been about alternatives. First with hydrogen fuel cell engineering and then with batteries
- Hydrogen fuel cell engineering: developed Automated Data Analysis Tools; Harmonized global industry standards
- Battery chemistry: predevelopment and technology partnerships
- HV battery lab operations: Root Cause Analysis of field failures
- Emerging technology evaluation: deciding which ideas to resource
What I’ve Learned
Hard technical work rarely stalls because people do not care. It usually stalls because the direction is fuzzy, the decision process is overcomplicated, or the hard conversations keep getting delayed.
Years around labs, suppliers, standards, and early technology bets taught me to look for the same things: what matters, what decision comes next, and what a team needs to carry the work without heroics.
- Clarity over jargon
- Action over theater
- Systems over excuses
I’m useful when a team needs clearer thinking, plain language, and work that holds up under pressure.
