Nothing exists until someone determined or stubborn enough makes it. Manufacturing splits that work into design, prototyping, and production. It takes three jobs; three departments and three groups convinced the other two are the problem. I intend to do all three. I've been told this is not how the industry works. I'm doing it anyway.
I’m a Machinist first, a shop goblin with lofty ideals. This, along with a background in political science, a former defense contractor, quality lead, and now studying mechanical engineering is how I can partake in the furtherment of humankind. True human progress doesn't come from policy or projection. It comes from engineers, machinists, tradesmen, and artisans such as myself forging the physical fabric of this existence.
