About / The person at the bench

Oh, hi Mark.

I’m a product engineer with a bias toward the physical.

I’m most useful when a problem crosses disciplines—when the software, equipment, operator workflow, and business process all need to make sense together.

I like manufacturing systems, robotics, custom products, and the practical tools that help people do better work.

Small paws. Useful ideas.

Rivet is my workshop companion: part robot, part beaver, always ready to build. He brings together my interests in robotics, making, and playful learning. Now he’s got the keys to the portfolio.
