Coburn Pragmatic Solutions

Welcome

My site is a bit divided. Pragmatic Solutions was created as a consultancy for the engine business - design, procure, build, test, manufacture, etc. In late 2022, I kicked into high-gear with commercialization of technology and assisting companies with grant applications. So I'm still the guy who knows a lot about engines, and I'd be happy to talk to you about them, in any shape or form (makes something move using combustion), but my newest endeavor is in commercialization of new technology. Also through my career, I've picked up quite a bit of expertise in management, enterprise processes, and team leadership.
