FAQ
Common Questions
What does an independent engineering consultant do?
I work directly with clients to solve technical problems, review designs, develop products, and provide objective engineering analysis. No large firm overhead, no junior staff doing the work. You get direct access to someone who has actually built things.
What industries do you work in?
Mechanical, structural, industrial automation, controls, embedded software, IoT, systems integration, manufacturing, and product development. I have worked across consumer products, industrial equipment, medical devices, and defense applications.
What is patent strategy consulting?
It means helping inventors and companies figure out what is worth patenting, how to build a defensible portfolio, and how to avoid stepping on existing IP. With 55+ U.S. patents of my own, I have been through the process many times from initial disclosure through prosecution.
What is technical due diligence?
An independent technical assessment of a product, technology, or engineering organization. Typically done before an acquisition, investment, or partnership. I look at design quality, manufacturability, IP strength, and technical risk and give you a straight answer.
How is working with an independent consultant different from hiring a large firm?
You work with me directly, not a project manager who hands the work to someone else. That means faster turnaround, lower cost, and a broader perspective built from decades of work across many disciplines and industries.
How do I get started?
