Mechanical Engineer

Systems that survive contact with production.

Mechanical engineer with experience in manufacturing, process engineering, rapid prototyping, and field debugging. I’ve worked on Apple production equipment, Mark Rober builds, electric vehicle manufacturing problems, and industrial hardware from concept to production.

I currently build the Structural Edge Platform, a live, broker-connected FX trading system with a native C++ engine, a Python execution stack, GPU-optimized research tooling, Docker deployment, and a parity-audited path from research into live configuration.

Selected Work

Real engineering constraints, real delivery pressure

The strongest parts of my background are not abstract claims. They are projects that had to work on lines, in studios, with vendors, on schedules, and under technical constraints.

Mark Rober

First employee, prototype to production

Helped move projects like Glitterbomb from design into prototype and short-run studio production, invented what became known as "Devil's Toothpaste," and learned new technical domains fast enough to support projects that reached billions of views on YouTube.

Apple via Flex

Mac Pro laser-etch qualification

Led qualification work to sub-0.1 mm accuracy, taught myself C# to help resolve hanging issues with contractors, and helped deliver the most reliable laser-etch machine that line had seen in years.

Volcon

$80K dead-inventory problem cleared

Diagnosed an encoder-programming issue, developed a repeatable fix, then built an Arduino throttle emulator to automate the workaround and get the solution onto the line in the first month.

BlastPro + OU

BRB-3000 in three months

Built the BRB-3000 platform, now the BRB-3100, from a modified LPG concept into a production model while finishing mechanical engineering at OU, where my capstone team also built a Schlumberger ring-scraper test system that topped the technical judging.

What I Do Now

The Structural Edge Platform

The platform is a live FX trading system built from scratch. OANDA candles stream into a native manifold engine and a Python execution stack that handles gating, sizing, portfolio controls, and broker routing. Research runs through a GPU sweep and multi-window replay, then promoted parameters are checked before they go live.

OANDA S5 candles
  -> native manifold / regime engine
  -> Python gate and portfolio stack
  -> OANDA execution
  -> canonical replay + parity audit
Current Stack
  • C++17/20, Python, CUDA, CMake, pybind11
  • Valkey-backed runtime state and Docker deployment
  • GPU parameter search and multi-window replay
  • Health checks, parity audits, and centralized risk policy
