Hey everyone,

I’m currently a technical student focusing on engineering workflows. As I look toward graduating and entering the field, I want to bridge the gap between academic textbooks and real-world execution.

I am not looking for a job pitch, and I have absolutely nothing to sell. I genuinely just want to build clean professional connections with people currently in the trenches—specifically Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Managers, or anyone managing product development documentation and data structures daily.

If you are open to a quick text chat or wouldn't mind me asking 2 or 3 quick questions about what your actual day-to-day workflow looks like (and what university completely fails to teach us about the industry), please drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Appreciate any insights or connections!

Hi yall,

I’m an engineering student heading back for my final term on May 17th. Over the last few months, I’ve been talking to hardware leads about documentation errors, and a recurring nightmare is the character-level typo in Manufacturer Part Numbers (like an '8' instead of a 'B').

I got tired of hearing about $10k prototype delays over a single digit mistake, so I built BOM Transformer, Need some feedback my engineers

Engineers who manage BOMs — has a BOM mistake ever caused a delay or cost your company money? How do you currently catch errors before ordering?
