Answers “could we build that?” with “yes — but let me check the math first.”
Strongest where digital and physical meet, with CAD and CNC as his native languages: design it precisely, make it exactly, and build the software when the idea demands it.
The seam between screen and shop floor — model it to the tolerance, then route it on the machine. Software when the idea demands it, never for its own sake.
Builds things that sound impossible, but are kind of extraordinary. Usually doesn’t mention it. Extraordinary output, minimal fanfare.
The in-progress ones are becoming something better. The waiting ones have a plan.
Before anything gets designed or built, Reggie accounts for the loads, the tolerances, the budget, and the thing that breaks first. The thinking looks slow because it goes all the way through.
Every build has a weakest link. He finds it on paper, long before it finds you in the real world.
CAD down to the tolerance, which means by the time it reaches the machine it can make it exactly.
CNC, by hand, or a little software when the idea demands it. He actually builds the thing.
Products for real people solving real problems — and the scrappy internal tools built when nothing off the shelf quite fit.
01Fans pay to shape the setlist, in real time — the request economy, engineered.
A concert needs a backend that behaves under a thousand simultaneous taps. 10:02 is that system: a band-curated setlist, paid requests surfacing on a live dashboard, the split settling automatically the instant a song lands. The kind of build where the math — concurrency, money, timing — has to be right before the lights go down.
Off the clock, the same brain that names the problem cuts the joinery. Done, in progress, and a few that are waiting for the right idea.
02A bike that sounds impossible on paper — and then exists.
The kind of build he does and barely mentions. Every gram argued for, every tube’s load run twice, the whole frame engineered to the edge of what will still stand up under a real rider. Extraordinary output; he’d rather show you the cut list than talk about it.
Give Reggie the thing nobody’s sure can be built. He’ll check the math, figure out what breaks first, and make it stand up. If the job is bigger than one pair of hands, there’s another pair right behind him.
