360°Product strategy through delivery

Engineering depth. Product clarity.

I work at the intersection of physics, software, and people.

My background spans industrial CFD, geometry and meshing, solver validation, workflow automation, and technical product management. I translate complex user problems into clear roadmaps, usable workflows, and reliable releases.
