BIO
Co-founder + CEO @ Forge Automation | I make metal parts. Send me CAD, I will make it in the real world. I went to the University of Waterloo Engineering, and interned at Apple, Formlabs and iRobot. I have been machining for over 10 years and I love building robots and machines. I graduated in the summer of 2022 and co-founded Forge Automation right after.
