Product Sourcing | Supplier Sourcing | Product Development

I help companies with Product Sourcing, Supplier Sourcing, Product Development, Prototyping, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufacturing—from an initial product concept, drawing, reference sample, or existing supplier problem through production and delivery. For 12+ years, I have worked as a Sourcing Agent, Product Sourcing Specialist, Mechanical Engineer, and Product Development Consultant, working with manufacturers across China, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, Europe, and other global manufacturing markets. My typical process: Product Concept → Product Research → Supplier Sourcing → Factory Sourcing → Factory Verification → RFQ → Prototype → Testing → DFM → Negotiation → Golden Sample → Production → Quality Control → Packaging → Logistics → Delivery I do more than provide supplier names or Alibaba links. I help determine whether a manufacturer can actually meet the product, technical, quality, MOQ, cost, tooling, capacity and delivery requirements.
