About

I build instruments, not apps β€” calibrated tools that turn messy physical reality into clear, executable decisions.

Feasibility bumpers define the mechanical and procedural constraints, the design platform encodes those limits into parametric controls, and the field verification loop closes the circuit with measured deltas that recalibrate the next directive.

Calibration Background

I’ve spent years at the intersection of fabrication, geometry, and software β€” working on complex architectural metal projects where millimeters matter and field conditions never match the model.

πŸ—
Field-tested at Zahner β€” Built internal tools that bridge design intent and field reality: geometry pipelines, deviation analysis, and installer-facing interfaces. Learned that detection is easy; expressing corrections field crews can execute is hard.

Operating Principles

The instruments I build share common calibration standards:

Constraints-Aware

DOF LIMITS DEPENDENCIES

Every correction lives within physical and procedural limits. No impossible instructions.

Verification-First

PASS FAIL

Before/after metrics that prove the gap is closed. No "trust me" outputs.

Field-Executable

UNAMBIGUOUS REFERENCE FRAME

Clear steps in known coordinate systems. No interpretation required.

The best software for physical work acts like a good instrument: precise, reliable, and transparent about what it’s measuring.
