Capabilities

Practical skills, active learning, and build instincts.

Material Work

Cutting, shaping, sanding, finishing, assembly, fit-up, layout work, and careful handling of wood and metal parts.

Design Thinking

Sketches, CAD-style planning, measured layouts, prototypes, tolerance awareness, and iterative problem solving.

Digital + Physical

Comfort bridging computer-based planning with physical builds, including electronics concepts and interactive objects.

Currently Building Toward

CNC workflows, machining fundamentals, shop safety, tooling discipline, and stronger repeatable fabrication processes.

Selected Work

Projects with useful process signals.

Selected for fabrication planning, material handling, iterative refinement, and practical build thinking.

Process

How I approach a build.

01

Sketch

Start with rough proportions, use-case, constraints, and how the part should feel in hand or in use.

02

Plan

Break the build into material, hardware, layout, joinery, fastening, and finishing decisions before cutting.

03

Prototype

Test fit, adjust tolerances, catch interference, and simplify the build path where possible.

04

Refine

Sand, finish, document, and carry forward what worked into the next iteration.

Contact

Open to apprenticeship and shop opportunities.

Looking for practical paths into machining, CNC, fabrication, and hands-on technical work.
