About

I helped build Cofactr to solve a problem I've seen plague hardware companies for years: supply chain chaos that makes building critical products unnecessarily hard. Cofactr is our answer to that problem. It’s a supply chain risk management platform that provides an end-to-end solution for parts management, procurement, storage, and kitting for critical, high-mix, and high-reliability manufacturing. Why Cofactr? 🤖 We automate processes by connecting systems of record like PLM, ERP, WMS, MES, and financial software to ensure compliance with forward and backward traceability. ⚡ We’ve transformed operations for companies in Aerospace, Defense, MedTech, Automotive, Robotics, and other critical hardware industries. ⚙️ We make hardware not so hard. The results our customers are seeing speak for themselves: ✅ Reduced manufacturing errors ✅ Automated backward traceability to proactively predict MRO activity ✅ 10% faster time to market ✅ More efficient engineering teams ✅ 24% savings on materials spend I'm proud to work with incredible teams like Amazon Robotics, Stoke Space, PatchRX, Salient Motion, H3X, Summit Interconnect, Microart, Advanced Farm, Nautilus Defense, Panthalassa, and Neros Technologies.

I also attended the Y Combinator program in 2022 and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boston University.
