About

My name is JD Peterson. I currently work as a Controls Engineer in Waukesha, WI, specializing in the design of hydraulic test equipment. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In addition to engineering courses, I completed a mix of computer science and graduate-level mathematics courses. Prior to my career as an engineer, I spent nine years in the telecom industry. Working as a Sales Manager for Verizon and a Wireless Program Manager for Wireless Advocates, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking and a customer-centric approach to my engineering projects. Outside of my professional endeavors, I run The Basement Forge, where I utilize 3D printing technology to create highly detailed tabletop gaming terrain, accessories, and figurines. Between my experience in design and analysis software and my hands-on experience in electronics, fabrication, and manufacturing I’m equipped and always excited to tackle a new challenge.
