My name is Brian Pratt. I work as a design/test engineer at a medical device company. Primarily, my work involves testing the mechanical and electrical requirements for implanted neuro-stimulation leads. In my work, I frequently use CAD drafting to design the fixtures used to test our products. I also use CAD outside of work for personal projects. As a hobby I race hovercrafts with my dad.
