About
I build systems that grow: start with a capable core, then add interfaces that compound value. I document BOMs, sourcing notes, and upgrade decision trees for small and mid-size shops.
Background
When I started in a shared garage, I couldn't afford a flagship bench. I built a stout torsion box and added dog holes and casters over months. Each upgrade removed a frustration. That experience taught me budgets can buy systems, not compromises, if you plan the path.
Perspective
I prefer components that accept common standards and can be upgraded incrementally.
