Background

Behind the Builds

I am a Colorado-based engineer and designer bridging hands-on trade craftsmanship and modern product engineering. I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, focusing on physical prototype fabrication, mechanism design, and systems engineering.

Beyond the classroom, I cut my teeth working in construction and later within the licensed cannabis industry. Those experiences taught me how to move fast in strict regulatory frameworks where precision, traceability, and accountability directly dictate success.

Today, I build software systems, physical consumer products, and interactive digital tools. I care deeply about how physical products feel in your hand, how software architectures scale under real-world load, and how ideas transition into sustainable businesses.
