04 / ENGINEERING + ECONOMICS
Build the system.
Understand the impact.
I’m interested not only in how products and manufacturing systems are engineered, but in how engineering decisions affect productivity, cost, operations, and the business around them.
Economics is a second lens on engineering work—not a separate professional identity. It helps me connect technical decisions to the way organizations actually operate.
