Project Management
I manage projects across both professional engineering work and robotics programs. My experience includes coordinating build schedules, procurement, task ownership, documentation, cross-team communication, and budgets, from leading robotics programs with approximately $50k annual budgets to supporting aggressive accelerator tooling and production timelines. I focus on keeping people, resources, and deliverables aligned from early planning through final delivery
