About
I'm a hands-on builder who designs and fabricates mechanical objects from the ground up — sketching a concept, modeling it in CAD, machining the parts, and wiring the electronics that bring it to life.
My work lives at the intersection of engineering and craftsmanship: tight tolerances, clean motion, and hardware that feels as good as it works. Whether it's a six-axis platform or a custom keyboard, I obsess over the details that make a machine move right.
