Projects & Product Development
From developing my own product lines to solving unique challenges— each project pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
This Website - MLAB Platform
Built from scratch with Next.js 15, TypeScript, and Supabase. Features real-time contact forms and Docker deployment.
TapBack Handles
Sustainable tap handles from recycled 6-pack rings and bottle caps. Each handle diverts 50+ pieces of plastic from landfills.
MLAB Plastics Supply Chain
Complete recycled plastics operation - from bottle cap collection to finished sheets in 18+ unique color blends.
Camp Chair Replacement Caps
3D printed replacement caps that save camping chairs from landfills. Stronger than OEM parts.
OneFinity Dust Boot Arms
Improved replacement arms for OneFinity CNC dust collection systems. Enhanced design for better durability.
Mercedes headrest pin
Reverse-engineered hard-to-find Mercedes headrest pin. Durable and flexible materials used.
What Customers Say
Real feedback from real projects
"There initial design did not work well with my PwnCNC v9 dust boot. Brian went above and beyond to design and build brackets that work with my dust boot. Highly recommend!"
