Technical PM | Integrator | Fractional COO | Mechanical Engineer | MBA

I bring structure to chaos. I’m a Technical Project Manager, Product Manager, and Fractional COO with a background as a Mechanical Engineer (P.Eng) and an MBA. I help fast-growing, technical organizations gain control, transparency, and execution discipline when things get too chaotic, without compromising delivery and agility. From scaling operations and launching products to leading engineering teams and alignment with organizational objectives, I specialize in bridging technical depth with business strategy. Whether you need someone who can cut through the noise and stay hyper focused on complex product development, a systems thinker to untangle organizational pains, or interim leadership to move initiatives forward. I don't shy away from getting my hands dirty - I'm capable of performing my own engineering/design, and building out systems/tools. If your company is growing fast but straining at the seams, I can help you streamline, prioritize, and scale - while continuing to prioritizing meeting your organization's goals. 🚑 My clients hire me when: -Projects are stuck or lack execution discipline -They need a technical generalist to fill multiple roles temporarily -They're scaling quickly and need lean, effective systems -The want to implement KPIs and OKRs, but can't find something to track -Operations are chaotic and need structured leadership -There's a technical or engineering problem requiring hands-on leadership 🔧 Core Skills & Services: -Technical Project Management (Agile / Waterfall / Hybrid) -Fractional COO Services: SOPs, KPIs, Operational Dashboards, Team Scaling -Engineering Oversight: Product Development, Manufacturing, CAD, DFM/DFA -Strategic Planning & Implementation (MBA + Lean) -Process Mapping, Workflow Automation, Systems Integration -Vendor and Contract Manufacturing Management -Product-Market Fit Validation & Customer Development 🛠 Tools & Platforms: Asana | Monday | ClickUp | Jira | Notion | Hubspot | Airtable | SolidWorks | Fusion 360 | AutoCAD | ERP/MRP Systems | Zapier | Make (Integromat) | Google Workspace | Slack | MS Teams QuickBooks | Xero | Stripe | Shopify | Zoho | WordPress | SmartSheet 🏆 Selected Results: -Dropped into bankrupted green-tech company by new owners on a "seek and destroy" mission to both rebuild supply chain while designing and executing construction project to allow for twice the manufacturing output - designed manufacturing, implemented temporary project management systems, developed contractor scopes, project managed construction. -Designed and developed as well as readied supply chain for engine technology project for Volvo - responsible for project management, product ownership, quality management - overcoming technical challenges resulted in multiple patents. -Improved processes, created SOPs, implemented project management tool (SmartSheet), and build out it's functionality to support engineering, manufacturing, marketing, accounting, after service and management needs. 🌍 Industries Served: Hydrogen | New Energy Vehicles | Manufacturing | Automotive (IATF 16949, VDA 6.3) | Aerospace | Supply Chain | Telecom | B2B SaaS | Consumer Electronics | Green Construction | Manufacturing Equipment 🎓 Credentials: P.Eng. – Registered Professional Engineer (Canada) MBA – Business Strategy & Operations Eligible for PMP certification Eligible for Lean Six Sigma
