Aaron H.

As an engineering professional with a Master of Science in Engineering Management from UCLA and a background in electrical and electronics engineering, I’ve spent the last several years at the intersection of advanced technology and leadership. My core strength lies in bridging the gap between complex technical systems and the strategic oversight needed to deliver them on time, on budget, and aligned with business goals.

In my current and prior roles, I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams of up to 20 engineers, serving as both a hands-on contributor and a project lead for high-stakes, flight-critical systems in the aerospace sector. I've owned product roadmaps from clean-sheet design to full development, managed supplier relationships, and driven cross-functional coordination across engineering, procurement, and R&D. My leadership style is proactive, data-driven, and grounded in systems thinking—a mindset sharpened through real-world project delivery and formalized by my graduate education.

What sets me apart as a future-focused project or program manager is the combination of technical fluency and managerial acumen. My UCLA Engineering Management degree equipped me with frameworks in organizational behavior, operations management, financial modeling, and strategic decision-making. I understand not only how to lead engineers but how to manage risk, prioritize scope, and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and business leaders.

My goal is to transition fully into a project, program, or product management role where I can leverage my engineering background to lead innovation, optimize delivery pipelines, and scale technical programs. I’m especially drawn to roles that challenge me to grow cross-functional teams, guide product strategy, and contribute to business outcomes—whether through operational efficiency, customer impact, or technical excellence.

If you're looking for a technical leader with business insight—someone who thrives in ambiguity, acts with ownership, and understands how to turn complex systems into measurable success—I’d welcome a connection.
