I build the physical things that don't have a playbook yet.
I spent years trying to force myself into a crisp suit and a corporate desk before accepting a basic reality: I am at my best in mud-covered boots, an over-sized hoodie, and covered in grease and metal filings, fixing or building complex machinery. My brain has worked this way since I was two years old—pulling apart toy trucks to rebuild them across different brands, figuring out how the physical world fits together by building, testing, and breaking things.
That lifelong obsession with how things are made evolved into a deep spatial intuition for systems-level design, robotics, and physical fabrication. When I walk through a plant, I don't just see a quiet production line. I see where workers are straining, where alignment goes out of spec, and where the bottleneck is killing profit. In my head, I’m already designing the fix: synchronized robots and machine vision architectures that allow humans to work faster, safer, and with perfect accuracy.
How I Work
Most engineering consultancies charge six figures to give you a slide deck detailing your own problems. I operate differently: I walk your floor, pinpoint the failure point, and build the physical system that fixes it. Traditional hardware development breaks down during vendor handoffs—where designs get rejected by machinists, torch clearances are missed by draftspeople, and electronics don't fit the physical chassis.
When you work with Octo-Systems, you eliminate "handoff loss" entirely. You get a single, cross-disciplinary engineer owning the full cycle: CAD design, precision toolpaths, heavy structural welds, and embedded system controls. Operating out of mHUB Chicago, I leverage over $7M in industrial equipment to engineer practical solutions where standard practices hit a wall.
