Declaration of intent
I design tools and machines for factory floors and kitchens, 11 years at it so far.
I have taken 23 products from sketch to serial production, including a bench grinder
housing that has sold 140,000 units since 2021. I measure my work in warranty claims,
and I like that number small. Currently under 0.8% across my active product lines.
