Explore the Projects That Define My Work — and the Gallery That Shows the Process Behind It.

Dive into my engineering projects and client-ready solutions, or scroll through the gallery to see behind-the-scenes sketches, prototypes, and personal builds. It’s all part of how I learn, create, and deliver.

This Is Where It All Comes Together

Here’s the core of what I do. These are the tools, techniques, and skills I’ve built up over years of hands-on learning — from mechanical design and prototyping to wiring, 3D printing, and fabricating functional parts that solve real problems.

And I’m not done. I’m still studying every week, improving where I can, and diving deeper into topics that matter to me.
