I’ve been drawn to automated systems from the beginning.

I started in CAD with an initial path toward architecture, but shifted as digital fabrication and automation began reshaping how things get built. That shift led me into manufacturing—and eventually into controls.

I joined FlashCut CNC, a controls manufacturer, as a technician and moved quickly into leading the support team. That role meant solving real production problems under pressure—debugging systems, supporting operators, and keeping machines running.

From there, I began working directly with OEM partners to design control systems tailored to their equipment and workflows.

Controls sit at the intersection of everything—motion, software, hardware, and processes—which has given me exposure to a wide range of applications including all kinds of CNC systems and collaborative robotics.
