About

Engineer, inventor, builder. 86 patents across four companies, spanning hardware controls to AI systems.

I build things that work. Over 13 years, that's meant designing CAN-based operator stations for asphalt pavers, inventing AI systems for document processing and computer vision, architecting blockchain solutions for supply chain trust, and filing patents that bridge the gap between technical depth and real-world usability.

My patent portfolio reflects a consistent thread: making complex systems simpler and more intelligent. From Caterpillar's factory floor to IBM's AI labs to Google's product teams — the problems change, but the approach stays the same. Understand the pain point, design an elegant solution, protect the innovation.
