Journey from Machinist to Master Target Designer

Following my military service, I contributed over 15 years to our family's automotive supplier business as a machinist and custom machine builder. This role demanded not only extensive practical experience but also specialized education.

MECI/SME-Recognized Roboticist Training

Enhancing my technical skillset, I completed a comprehensive roboticist training program with Rixan Automation LLC. This advanced training, acknowledged and recognized by the Manufacturing Engineering Certification Institute of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (MECI/SME), honed my expertise in robotics operation, programming, and maintenance.

Comprehensive Machine Building and Engineering

In my role as a machine builder, I was fully responsible for creating end to end solutions. This included engineering, CAD, machining, hydraulics, wiring, and controls. My extensive experience also includes working with tool steels and mastering steel hardening for creating precise punches, dies, molds, and tooling.

The Art of Automation

Building automated machines from scratch was a passion. Designing efficient, clockwork-like systems in manufacturing was not just challenging but immensely satisfying, mirroring the precision I bring to my current work.

Dedicated to Designing Superior Target Systems

Now, my focus is on designing superior target systems. I continuously apply Elon Musk's first principles approach to product design, ensuring every system I craft meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Design Philosophy: Engineering Excellence Meets User-Centric Design

My role as the designer of our products is underpinned by a deep-seated passion for engineering excellence and innovative design. Every product we offer is crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, born from years of engineering and design expertise.

This approach is not about boasting but about assurance - assurance that every item is engineered to perfection. By integrating customer feedback into the design process, I ensure our products not only embody top-tier engineering but also resonate with real-world needs, delivering exceptional value and reliability.
