Rick Beddoe Principal Convergence Architect

Architect of Convergent Systems

Design. Engineering. Software. Hardware. Manufacturing. Operations.
Built under real constraints, for real users, in the real world.

Overview
Experience
Systems

I design and build end-to-end systems that span software, electronics, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and operations.

My work lives where ideas meet reality — where constraints are real, timelines matter, and systems must actually ship.

Over the past decade, I’ve led projects that move fluidly from concept and architecture through prototyping, production, and deployment. I’m often brought in when systems are crossing boundaries — when software touches hardware, when prototypes become products, or when growing complexity demands a coherent design.

This site is a guided walk through how I think, how I build, and how I navigate that convergence. Each section reveals a different layer — from high-level systems thinking to the details that make real-world systems work.

Explore the tabs here, or use the navigation above to dive deeper.

This is a living product.

It evolves as I design, build, and ship real systems — shaped by real constraints, real users, and real outcomes. You’re welcome to explore it as it exists today, or follow along as it grows.
