About Me
Over 20 years
building things
that work.
I'm an Electrical Automation Engineer who has spent the better part of two decades working inside some of the world's leading food sorting and packaging companies — SIG Combibloc and Key Technology (Duravant).
My core strength is making complex automation systems work reliably in the field, and making sure the people who operate them actually understand what they're doing.
