The Future is
Mechanical
Building factories, machines, and the infrastructure of tomorrow.
Some people write software.
I build with atoms.
I build in the oldest tradition we have — the tradition of fire and force, of materials pushed past their limits, of machines that only obey after they've tested your resolve.
I'm a founder, engineer, and industrial maker in the lineage of the ancient forgers — the ones who knew that creation demands heat, pressure, and a willingness to wrestle the world into a new shape. The digital age forgot this truth. I didn't.
🏭Factories as Living Beasts
A factory is not a building. It is a creature.
It growls when misaligned. It breathes when balanced. It remembers every hand that ever dared to command it.
I've stepped into silent warehouses and felt their hunger — the desire to produce, transform, and consume raw chaos into ordered matter. At SRTX, I helped evolve a fragile concept into a vertically integrated, industrial organism made of polymer alchemy, tension systems coiled like muscle, and automation pulsing like a heartbeat.
I don't "optimize" production lines. I tame them.
And when they finally submit — when steel, polymer, code, and human intuition lock into sync — it feels like standing beside a myth coming alive.
🔧Engineering as Confrontation
I founded Upverter not to worship software, but to accelerate the creation of physical things. We sold the company, but the truth remained: the world changes only when someone is brave enough to build the impossible.
Engineering is not problem-solving. It is confrontation. A negotiation between what exists and what refuses to.
And I've never been afraid to push until the world gives way.
🚀What I Believe
The next century will not be written in code. It will be carved into matter.
Factories will rise like new titans. Machines will argue like stubborn gods. Materials will behave like creatures with their own destinies.
The physical world is waking up again — raw, unfiltered, unapologetic.
And it will reward those who dare to shape it.
⚡What Comes Next
I'm building toward manufacturing systems that behave like ecosystems — alive, adaptive, unpredictable. Toward machines that collaborate, resist, evolve. Toward materials that stretch beyond their folklore. Toward factories that rumble with the energy of a storm gathering its strength.
If you crave safety, familiarity, and process diagrams, you'll hate what I build.
But if you want to forge something real, something primal, something that would make ancient builders nod in recognition —
come stand in the forge with me.
