## Headline

Manufacturing Engineer building AI \- driven costing & DFM tooling at Fictiv

## About

Why does a part cost what it costs \- and how much of that is actually necessary? That question shapes everything I build\. At Fictiv, I own costing accuracy and DFM feedback across multiple manufacturing processes, and I build the tooling that keeps quoting accurate at scale \- pricing calculators, API\-driven automation, and analytics that turn raw ops data into leadership\-ready insight\. My range spans traditional ME \(DFM, DfAM, DFA, GD&T, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, Creo\) and applied software: Python automation for pricing retrieval, capability\-database tools, and large\-scale ops analytics\. Earlier, I designed metal 3D printers \(laser powder bed fusion\) at amace solutions \- work that led to a patent on a powder\-spreading apparatus for additive manufacturing\. I build the systems that make quoting better\. Let's connect if you're a manufacturing engineer building costing or DFM tooling, or working on similar problems in digital manufacturing\.
