About

I maintained shared equipment in offices and schools, then trained teams to keep it running. I value forgiving designs, tidy disposal, and simple upkeep that respects limited time.

Core Beliefs

Reliability comes from good design plus habits people will actually do.

Background

Our busiest floor used to jam three times before lunch. I color-taped feed guides, set a simple oil schedule, and taught 'stagger, don't stack.' Jams dropped by 80%, cleanup was faster, and nobody dreaded bin day. Reliability wasn't magic; it was small, repeatable habits and machines that forgive imperfect use.
