Interested in developing and sharing innovative technology.
Human Factors Engineering major with a minor in Entrepreneurial Leadership Studies.
Specialized in consumer technology, AR/VR, media/marketing strategy, and video production.
* Pursues Opportunities: When I first started at the company PTC, I was initially asked to do some small-scale development work. Over the last 4+ years, I've transitioned roles and teams multiple times. With each transition, I began managing more complex and important work streams. Recently, we just launched our flagship project Digital Performance Management (DPM). I, alongside a small team of designers, built DPM to help identify and understand inefficiencies in a customer’s manufacturing process. Prior to this project, I knew very little about takt times, OEE measurements, or routing, but I dove into the space quickly. While at PTC, I have always searched for ways to better contribute to the company’s success. I went from working on K-12 AR/VR education projects to designing and building a brand new digital thread solution.
* Self-Motivated: Because of my interest in developing and sharing innovative technology, 1.5 years ago I launched a consumer technology YouTube channel that has accumulated over 1 Million views. Self-taught in cinematography, video production, and media editing. This channel has allowed me to experience and share technology such as 3D printers, virtual reality systems, new ridable technologies, and more.
* Communicates: While on paper, I feel that my various technology-based projects have been exciting, a large reason for their success is the way I have been able to communicate them. Using my talents with video production and writing, I am able to document my projects in ways that allow them to be easily understood. This makes my work very easily sharable and consumable. I’ve often used this skill for the companies I’ve worked with to showcase their products more effectively.
I am passionate about developing, understanding, and sharing new technology. Excited to go through all parts product development projects. I have experience in project management, brainstorming, prototyping, usability testing, technology building, and documentation. Ask me to code behind a desk, weld inside a machine shop, or present in front of a crowd, I'm ready to push any project to its full potential.
