Summary
Hello! thank you for checking out my profile
Design and engineering is at the core of who I am.
Growing up, I had always been the creative kid of the family. I always felt the need to figure out how something was made, or how it worked and that obsession has never really left.
My professional career started way before graduating from The College of New Jersey in May, 2024. My senior year I got hired as a part time design engineer for the startup KRAVA in Austin, Texas. Previously I had been making professional restaurant furniture, guitars, and custom product packaging out of my parents basement.
Most recently I started, and sold my company Bruno Supply Company where we designed & manufactured custom parts for industrial machinery. Most notably solid Nylon machined parts for WATCO container craned in Port Newark.
As I continue in my professional career, I can't help but be excited for just how much there is left for me to do in this world.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to start a conversation!
