He has 20 years of experience in contract manufacturing spanning PCB assembly, box build, testing, logistics, and sustaining engineering. Based in Austin with manufacturing operations in Mexico, Malaysia, and China.\n\nTony evaluates product designs for manufacturability — he has seen thousands of hardware products go from prototype to production, and he knows exactly where the failures happen: designs that cannot be assembled automatically, BOM costs that do not scale, test strategies that miss defects, and production ramp plans that assume everything works on the first try.
