I'm a bootstrapper from Flint, Michigan: I grew up around engines and grit, left for Oregon with nothing but my truck, and put myself through mechanical engineering school while chronically homeless, earning cum laude honors with both hands tied behind my back. I've worked in massive enterprise operations at AT&T, Netflix, Daimler Truck, and NASA, in progressively responsible roles from sales to customer service to safety-critical component engineering. At NASA, I compressed a 16-week project into a single day and took on 4x the typical workload across multiple departments. At Daimler, I managed embedded software for the Central Gateway on Freightliner trucks, coordinated with global dev teams across four continents, oversaw production of 500+ vehicles daily, and reduced daily Custom Work Orders by 80% through automation and root cause analysis. With 20 years of hands-on mechatronics experience, I've been building cars, websites, software, and bootstrapping complex solutions for decades. Need a hand? I'm your man.
