Design, Prototyping, and Manufacturing of Consumer Products

With more than 15 years of experience, I work with start-ups and SMEs to design, prototype and manufacture consumer products. I strive for close collaboration with clients and building personal relationships that last for years. I am the founder of Waterloo Technical Inc., a product development firm started in 2012. I specialize in industrial design; mechanical and electrical systems; firmware programming; and manufacturing. I work across these disciplines to transform great ideas into disruptive products that contribute to business growth for my clients.
