About
West Product Development brings together deep mechanical engineering expertise and modern software architecture — auditing legacy workflows and implementing AI-driven tools to accelerate the product development lifecycle. We focus on renewable energy, solar, and climate-sector businesses, where outdated spreadsheets and paper-based processes slow down teams doing work that matters. Where systems already exist, we add AI and automation on top — no rebuild required.
With over 25 years of experience across Consumer Products, Machinery, and Renewables, Brian combines expert-level mechanical design with a sharp focus on modernizing the engineering workflow. He researches and applies AI-driven tools to automate the Product Lifecycle — helping transform how hardware products go from concept to production. Brian’s current work centers on replacing manual business workflows with automated digital systems built on Google Workspace, Apps Script, and custom web applications.
Jenn brings over 15 years of expertise in software architecture and development, with hands-on experience across full-stack web development, CI/CD, DevOps, and scalable infrastructure design. Her recent work leverages modern technologies including Nest.js, TypeScript, AWS Cloud Infrastructure, Serverless Framework, Lambda, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake — driving efficient and resilient solutions. Beyond client work, she volunteers with the AZ Sustainability Alliance’s Food Tech for the Future program, teaching kids to code and build food computers.
