I’m a mechanical engineer with over a decade of New Product Development experience in the medical device industry, where I led and contributed to complex medical device development from concept through commercialization. My work has resulted in 14 issued patents, reflecting a career grounded in innovation, problem‑solving, and practical engineering execution.

I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame (Class of 2014) and am a Licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Illinois.

Today, through Kaitlin Konopacz Engineering LLC, I bring my technical depth, design experience, and hands‑on development background to clients who need reliable, customer-centered engineering support—whether for early‑stage concepts, product refinement, or navigating the path to manufacturable solutions.
