Engineer, veteran, racer.

After the service I worked almost every step of how a part gets made and proven: CNC machining, CMM inspection, composites testing, press dies, robot cells, and metrology systems built into the machine.

A lot of that work was automation. I have designed tooling and robot cells, programmed CNC and robots, and built inspection into the process so quality does not depend on someone catching it at the end.

Today I am a Senior Product Engineer taking LED lighting products through the full commercial lifecycle: concept, design, vendors and tooling, first article, launch, and the fixes that come after. I know what it takes to get a product built at volume, certified, and shipped, not just modeled.

The other half of how I work is software. In modern engineering a lot of the speed and creativity comes from writing your own tools, so I do. I build AI agents that handle the repetitive parts of the job, custom CAD templates and document systems, data dashboards, and process programs that turn a week of work into an afternoon.

I race, and a lot of my own projects start at the track. Kind of a Big Dill is my own shop, where all of that goes to work on your idea. I can design it, build it, test it, and build the tools to do it faster.

I keep the business small on purpose. You work with me directly, from the first call to the final drawing. If a job is outside what I do well, I will tell you and point you to someone who does.

And yes, the name is a joke. The work is not.
