Hello! I'm Dylan,

I am a Mechanical Engineer specializing in design, manufacturing optimization, and team leadership.

Over the past 3+ years, I've worked in design for manufacturing, process optimization, and cross-functional leadership. I'm passionate about solving complex engineering challenges while mentoring the next generation of engineers.

Currently, I focus on transforming manufacturing processes at Gwynedd Manufacturing, where I've enabled multimillion-dollar contract fulfillment through innovative problem-solving and team collaboration.
