The Competitive Technologist.
My career is a convergence of two worlds: the hands-on maker who needs to fabricate a single, perfect part, and the systems architect who needs to move a million units with zero defects.

From Guaranteeing Performance to Guaranteeing Scale
In 2005, I co-founded Predator Cycling with a simple but radical premise: a bicycle should be a biomechanical extension of the athlete. This "Riders First" philosophy demanded that we abandon traditional manufacturing cycles in favor of parametric design and simulation. We didn't just build bikes; we built data loops.
This obsession with high-fidelity engineering led to the development of our proprietary 5D Manufacturing Methodology—a cyclical framework (Design, Develop, Data Log, Drive, Deliver) that allowed us to create Olympic-caliber equipment like "The Major" cockpit and the RF20 road frame.
Recently, I have taken these "boutique" principles and applied them to the massive machinery of global logistics. At Amazon, I re-architected sorter logic to increase package throughput by nearly 20%, saving millions in annual costs. At Walmart, I am currently pioneering the use of Multi-Agent Orchestration and autonomous robotics to solve the complexities of cold-chain distribution.
The 5D Methodology
Design
Parametric 3D models driven by live data.
Develop
Virtual prototyping via CFD & FEA simulation.
Data Log
Rigorous tracking of every manufacturing variable.
Drive
Real-world validation and telemetry.
Deliver
Traceable quality control and logistics.
Engineering Impact
Amazon Logistics (Middle Mile)
Optimized PLC logic for package sorters, tightening gaps to increase throughput by ~15-20%.
Walmart Automation (Cold Chain)
Researching Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) for refrigerated environments and implementing Multi-Agent Orchestration to bridge WMS/WES silos.
The Next Frontier: "Industrial AI"
I believe we are moving beyond simple automation to Intelligent Optimization. My work with AyoWork explores the "Manufacturing Metaverse"—connecting unlinked datasets (like web traffic and machine logs) to create a Just-In-Time production loop that reacts to market interest before an order is even placed.
