About

Every year, thousands of overseas buyers send specs to Chinese factories and hope for the best. I do something different — I manage the process from the inside. I spent 15 years on China's factory floor. Not in a trading company office. Inside the factories. I've worked as a translator, project manager, and export sales lead for a publicly listed automation equipment manufacturer. I've reviewed engineering drawings with R&D teams, managed custom machine builds from prototype to FAT, and resolved quality disputes before they became shipment delays. Now I help overseas buyers source industrial products from Guangdong, China: ▸ Custom automation equipment and automatic parts▸ Industrial wire harnesses and cable assemblies ▸ Electromechanical components and control systems What I do that most sourcing agents don't: I don't forward your RFQ to three factories and compare prices. I verify manufacturing capability, sit in technical reviews, monitor production milestones, and manage pre-shipment inspection — because I've done all of these jobs myself, for years, on the factory side. I work in English, Spanish, and Chinese. If you're sourcing industrial products from China and want someone who speaks your language AND your engineer's language, let's connect.

Dongguan City, China

Grew from English Translator to Project Manager to Export Sales Lead over 10+ years at a publicly listed non-standard automation equipment manufacturer (怡合达, now a well-known name in China's industrial automation sector). As Translator & Project Assistant (first 3 years): Served as the communication bridge between overseas clients and Chinese R&D engineers. Gained hands-on understanding of mechanical design, BOM structures, and production processes for custom automation equipment and automatic parts. As Project Manager (following years): Managed full project lifecycles for overseas orders — from technical proposal and design review, through prototyping and production tracking, to factory acceptance testing (FAT) and international shipping. Coordinated cross-functional teams across engineering, procurement, production, and QC. As Export Sales Lead (final years): Developed key overseas accounts through Google SEO-driven inbound marketing. Handled technical negotiations, pricing strategy, and long-term account management for custom automation equipment sold to manufacturers across multiple industries. This decade of factory-side experience — spanning technical communication, project delivery, and commercial management — forms the foundation of my current sourcing practice.
