As a sole product engineer and deployment strategist, I built end-to-end a 0-to-1 quote-to-drawing platform for a 3D-printed structural composites company. An operations system that incorporates engineer quoting automation, data management and multi-user workspace.

ATLAS company’s ROI suffers from a time-consuming manual quoting process and scattered information management. I came in to design a configurator system that manages the company’s system data and generates complex engineering quotes.

An MIT-incubated startup spun off from the MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity, 3D-prints building composites from recycled waste plastic.
As their projects grew, more stakeholders (the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Gensler, etc.) are involved, quoting and product management outran their file management, configuration, storage, and auditing.

Weekly sessions with mechanical engineering, R&D, operations, and leadership to map workflows and locate the pain points. The core issue was disorganized files and data logging: nothing moved between departments without manual effort.

I streamlined the catalog, quoting logic, and sales workflow into reusable components, established naming standards for files, and created a comprehensive pipeline including a workbook, JSON catalog, edit logging sync, and tests.

The client's four products (bridge, floor, deck, boardwalk) are one system: a hanger, trusses in its slots, another hanger, repeated. I built a single resolver, and product types became JSON presets over it.

A few rounds in, I realized the real need wasn't an AI platform that assembles two drawing sets. It was linking three things that had never been linked:
Data management, storage, and product configuration
Sales quotes and customer communication
R&D file intake and multi-team operations

I designed the underlying system of the platform as an ontology: objects, relationships that carry their own evidence, axioms and actions, each writing an immutable audit row.
The goal is for each change to be trackable and to support LLM chain-of-thought reasoning that provides reliable answers for the AI agent.
