ABOUT US

We are two individuals with a passion for learning and exploring new things. Currently employed in the field of metrology, we specialize in calibrating lab equipment for asphalt and soil testing. Our expertise spans force, temperature, dimensional, electrical, and nuclear gauge calibration and testing. Our combined passions include programming, machine building, calibration, 3D printing, laser cutting, and micro-electronics. Together, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology. Unforunately our many skills do not include aesthetic design.

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to know how things work. It wasn’t just a curiosity; it was a necessity. I needed to understand the mechanics behind everything. This journey started with taking apart remote controllers and gradually advanced to building them using micro-controllers.

From there, I moved on to more complex tasks, like terminating Ethernet cables and eventually designing and implementing segregated networks with VLANs and QoS. My career path continued to evolve, taking me from being a Plant Operator, to Industrial Maintenance Tech, and finally becoming an Industrial Automation Technician.

Over time, my questions shifted from simply understanding how and why things work to figuring out how to use these resources effectively to make things work. Utilizing my knowledge and resources, I aim to achieve seamless integration and successful operation in every project I undertake.

This relentless pursuit of understanding and improvement drives me forward. I may not know everything, but I can learn anything and that's why I firmly believe:

"Progress is about always moving forward, never reversing."

Having played an instrument since I was eight, I've learned that just one discordant note can ruin an entire orchestra. This concept applies to any field, including measurement. In measurement, if your calibration tools are out of specification, everything else will be too.

For example, imagine a symphony where each instrument represents a different part of a project. If one instrument is out of tune, it can disrupt the harmony of the entire performance. Similarly, in measurement, if one tool is not properly calibrated, it can cause a ripple effect of errors throughout the entire process.

By implementing good systems, practices, and ideas, we can significantly reduce errors. In fact, we can aim to eliminate 99.999% of them. This level of precision and attention to detail is crucial for achieving excellence. That's why I firmly believe:

"When we accept 'good enough,' we sacrifice efficiency and perfection."
