During my several decades at Kikusui working with custom products, I have gained experience with a range of different products, but I have also had my fair share of setbacks. My tendency to lecture the younger members of my team is the result of lessons I learned the hard way when I was younger. In fact, my experience with overcoming obstacles is an important part of who I am today.

I am a bespoke engineer with Kikusui’s System Technology Group. While earlier in my career I was involved with our standard (off-the-shelf) range, I have now actually spent longer working with bespoke devices. In this series, I discuss various aspects of bespoke engineering.
