As a systems engineer, I focus on the big picture and how the puzzle pieces of a problem fit together. With a deep background in offer management, product, IT, and engineering, I’ve spent decades perfecting my craft, formalizing it in the SISE method.

How I Think, Consult, Do

Lean Design

Over a decade working across infrastructure, technology, and built environments, with an emphasis on sustainable and secure system design.

Authored Agile Methods

I authored “Snap‑In Systems Engineering,” a method that brings lean product design to lean organizations without heavyweight processes or excessive overhead.

Engineer by Hobby

Nearly three decades building hardware, software, and systems of systems—not just as a profession, but as a long‑running hobby and passion.

Product Strategy for Lean Teams

Standardized methods enable projects to be executed on‑time, on‑budget, and within scope. In practice, many lean organizations only use parts of processes informally, which limits impact and often adds confusion.

Snap‑In Systems Engineering (SISE) follows the classic “Vee” iterative model, emphasizing an agile, modular approach that is easier to adopt and scale. Each snap‑in phase is designed to minimize the amount of knowledge required to execute, while still focusing on measurable results. No engineering skills required.

SISE reduces cost and time by integrating sales, operational, and service considerations into an iterative process. It’s standardized methods “for the lay team,” tuned for agile teams that need rigor without bureaucracy.

What SISE helps you do
  • Adapt standardized, agile methods to create a product in lean organizations.
  • Iterate, plan, and execute quickly based on project risk and complexity.
  • Connect requirements, architecture, verification, and market strategy.
  • Reduce late‑stage surprises and rework.

In consulting engagements, SISE is the backbone for moving from concept, to sale, to support.
