Product Sourcing & Manufacturing Expert | 10+ Years in Asia
Currently based in Shenzhen, China — available for factory visits across Guangdong and broader China. Need a reliable manufacturing partner in Asia? I'll find the right factory for your product — and make sure they deliver. I'm a manufacturing professional with 10+ years on the factory floor in Asia. I've managed NPI (New Product Introduction) lines producing 100K+ units/month for global consumer electronics brands, led supplier qualification programs, and built automation systems that cut production costs by 30%+. Unlike sourcing agents who just search Alibaba, I actually understand what happens inside the factory. That means I catch problems before they cost you money: Design review — is your product actually producible at scale? Factory sourcing & vetting — not just price, but capability, capacity, and reliability Supplier negotiation — I speak the language and know the real costs Quality control & process optimization — from prototype to mass production NPI management — taking your product from design to first shipment I work best with hardware startups, Kickstarter creators, and DTC brands who need to manufacture in Asia but don't have someone on the ground. Free initial design review for new clients. Send me your drawings or specs and I'll give you an honest evaluation — no strings attached.
