The Technical Creative
I find the order inside complex systems. — and build what's never existed before.
I'm an engineer and technical creative. I build control systems for extraordinary physical machines — from theme-park ride controls to particle accelerators — turning complex, noisy problems into something ordered, safe, and new.

Mini Coaster
A miniature but fully functional roller coaster built for the WDI Open House — PLC-controlled with real block-zoning logic that detects dangerous situations like a valleying train and brings the system to a safe state.
