Hello I’m Doug! I’m a passionate technical leader with a diverse engineering background and a modern approach. My journey has seen my engineering projects fly to the heights of the International Space Station, assist millions of people with robots in their homes, and travel at the depths of our subways. Along the way I’ve found a knack for building vibrant communities and exceptional teams.
- I excel in creating and streamlining systems for New Product Development (NPD) and New Product Introduction (NPI), turning successful developments into successful products.
- I’m adept at developing strategic intent and creating technological value chains.
- Years of working in robotics and leading mixed hardware and software engineering projects have taught me to handle the challenges of functional silos and bring out the best in collaboration and unifying cultures.
- I’m a change-maker, specializing in process optimization and organizational change management. Decentralizing teams, increasing autonomy and ownership, leading cross-functional transformations, and renewing the drive to innovate.
- I’ve championed remote work first engineering methodologies that improved productivity, team satisfaction, reduced risks, and lowered R&D costs. These approaches work for hybrid and office-first teams as well!
- I architect right-sized machine learning, data science, and data analytics teams and projects to augment the modern company’s capabilities.
