# Alexander Pagliere > Robotics Lab Manager & Tech @ Meta // Ex-Juul Location: Oakland, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alexanderpagliere I help people create products, from the twinkle in an inventor's eye, through product definition, design, prototyping, sourcing, marketing and fulfillment. I've managed products, clients, and manufacturers through the entire product creation process - from prototyping to mass production of plastic injection molded parts, machined and formed sheet metals, complex paper products. My ultimate concern is the user's experience of a product; much of my design work is intuitive, but I love reviewing and synthesizing user data into something digestible and actionable. ## Work Experience ### Robotics Lab Manager / Mechanical Design Technician @ Beyondsoft Jan 2023 – Present | Meta Platforms, Inc., Fremont, CA • Embedded full time in Meta's (Facebook) Infrastructure Robotics Lab. • Managed four lab spaces totalling 15k+ sqft, optimizing for engineering utility and efficiency. • Drove re-organization of labs, spending only ~10k of pre-approved 100k budget. • Designed, built, and installed structures and mechanisms in prototype and production robots. • Offered DFM/A feedback and guidance to engineering teams, simplifying designs and reducing churn in production and sustaining. ### Co-Founder, Product Owner @ CR Brand, LLC Jan 2012 – Present • Ran a Kickstarter campaign from scratch, raising $25,000 as a capital and advertising push. • Thousands of notebooks sold under product ownership from invention to consumer's hands. • Led manufacturing partners to produce high quality product at a market-ready prices. • Analyzed and integrated customer feedback into business roadmap. • Created, executed, and pivoted brand style and strategy, including building a retail website. • Generated company business plan, mission statement, and PRD. ### Founder @ TMAP, LLC Jan 2012 – Present | Oakland, CA Portfolio: www.aspagliere.com. • Granted US patent 820,654. • Designed, refined, and shipped thousands of unique stainless steel keychains. • Offered full service product design consulting to individual and business clients. • Created business branding, including copy writing, web design, product packaging. ### Product Engineer @ D.A.
