Implant CDT with 16 years of laboratory and tech startup experience in the dental lab sector.

As a Board-Certified Dental Technician (CDT) specializing in advanced implant prosthetics and complex digital workflows, I bring two decades of experience spanning digital dental technology, production management, industrial engineering concepts, technical writing, and IT systems infrastructure. Backed by academic coursework in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and an active Implant Specialty board certification, I excel at managing high-volume digital CAD/CAM operations, designing intricate multi-unit prosthetics, and constructing precision surgical guides from complex 3D volumetric scans. Throughout my career at enterprise organizations like Dandy Digital Design Center and O’Brien Dental Laboratory, I have driven program scaling, optimized laboratory production lines, and collaborated directly with clinical clients to deliver tailored, constraint-based restorative solutions.

My professional approach is deeply rooted in quality management, rigorous root-cause failure analysis, and comprehensive technical documentation. I have a proven track record of authoring standard operating procedures (SOPs), aligning operational workflows with strict ISO 9001 and FDA regulatory guidelines, and implementing multi-angle quality checks like the "4Eyes" workflow to systematically reduce refabrication rates. Beyond my core specialization in digital manufacturing, my multi-disciplinary background includes executing technical writing contracts to transition legacy corporate records into digital infrastructure for companies like Nosler Inc., alongside supervising campus IT labs and diagnosing complex hardware and network infrastructure faults.
