See my work

I'm a plumbing service tech. After hours I rebuild dirt bike engines and design apps that I build with Claude, an AI coding assistant.

I'm looking for a remote engineering job where people and AI work together. I've always loved working with computers, and AI has made it so much more fun.

Top endPiston, rings, wrist pin and gaskets
Bottom endCrank, rod, bearings and seals
Full rebuildTop to bottom, measured and set back to spec
  1. Close-up of transmission gears and the shift drum in the engine case
    Inspect every part.
  2. Assembled engine cases on the bench with the side cover off
    Put the cases back together.
  3. Rebuilt engine mounted back in the dirt bike frame
    Back in the frame.

At 13,500 rpm, a 250cc four-stroke crank turns 225 times a second. That's why every measurement has to be exactly right.
