Hi, my name is Christopher, I am an architectural designer, self proclaimed mechanic, machinist, preservationist, and an alumnus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I graduated from RPI in 2012 with a Bachelors Degree in Architecture. This is my personal website devoted to all of my mechanical and architectural projects that I have amassed over the years. The projects you will find here range from the restoration of one hundred year old air compressors and engines to modern and contemporary architecture, models, drawings and designs. I love working with my hands, whether that is drafting or repairing vintage machinery. The greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity for learning a new skill will be. I enjoy learning new skillsets so that I can be a true master craftsman. You will see me going the extra mile to meticulously reproduce obsolete parts to exact manufacturer specifications, scrupulate the littlest detail, and find intriguing solutions.
