RoleEngineering Technician, Fabricator
BaseRotorua, New Zealand
TradeWelder-Fabricator, Auto-Electrical
NZBN9429051921217

Trained as a welder-fabricator, now working as an engineering technician with hands-on skills spanning welding, fabrication, and auto-electrical work. BrixFabWorx exists in the gap most workshops leave empty — where a physical part and the code that reads it come from the same understanding of how machines actually fail.

Every item on this ledger, whether it's a welded joint, a printed nylon housing, or a threshold alarm in a diagnostic app, is held to the same standard: built to survive the first real test, not just the demo.
