Capabilities

I build systems where software meets physical reality, and I manifest dreams. Working with architects, designers, and clients, I take projects from concept through fabrication—steel, wood, plastic, glass, any scale. CNC manufacturing, custom control systems, and whatever new tools the work requires.

  • Microcontrollers Teensy, ESP32, STM32
  • Protocols DMX512, RDM, sACN, Art-Net, Custom UDP
  • PCB Design KiCAD, Eagle
  • 3D / CAD Blender, SolidWorks, computational geometry
  • Visualization Blender, TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine
  • Fabrication
    •   3D Printing: FDM@250 x 210 x 210 mm (9.84 x 8.3 x 8.3 inches), MSLA@223 x 126 x 230 mm (8.75 x 5 x 9 inches).
    •   Sheet Metal Fabrication: Plasma cutting, press break.
    •   Welding & Assembly: MIG/TIG, certified welder.
    •   Finishing & Coating (limited sizes): Powder coating, plating, patina/pickling, anodizing.
