Our expert engineering staff thrives off the challenge of solving problems and has fun doing it. Get to know the team.
Chad founded Root3 Labs in 2012 and has over two decades of product design experience. At home and at work, he enjoys making stuff and voiding warranties and couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Conrad’s passion for creation was first sparked using his grandfather’s tools while growing up in New Jersey. This passion for building and solving problems is only rivaled by his passion for running.
Christina is a recent graduate with a zest for learning and travel. She's installed solar panels in Ghana and eaten pasta in Italy. She's also a licensed commercial sUAV pilot.
Rachel is a biomedical engineer with a keen interest in mechanical design and human factors as well as hiking and playing piano and spending time with family and friends.
Todd is excited to be back in Baltimore. His career so far includes medical robots, irrigation pumps in Myanmar, and healthcare app - basically anything related to practical Innovations.
Dionna has a background in administrative/ clerical work as well as order processing in a manufacturing environment. After taking sometime off from school, she is currently pursuing an electrical engineering degree and hopes to work with electronics in the future.
Alpha Bah is a rising Junior Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Maryland. His main interests are in product development, design process, and learning as much as possible about every aspect of engineering that he can. More recently, Alpha has developed a desire to learn and implement sustainable and ethical practices into his engineering work.
Dunkin is our friendly office pup. He accompanies Christina to work every day and can often be found roaming the office and staying alert for the delivery folks.
Ruthie joins Chad at work whenever she’s able hitch a ride. She likes to have her tummy rubbed but keeps her distance in the shop.
Half our our facility is comprised of an extensive and versatile fabrication workshop to allow quick-turn prototype iteration using a variety of materials, equipment, and techniques. This allows our engineers to quickly test an idea or modify a component. Watch a video tour of the workshop. It also means our engineers fully understand how a part can best be made because they’re familiar with the tools to make it. We currently have in-house fabrication capabilities in FDM & SLA 3D printing, laser-cutting, CNC and manual machining, woodworking, metalworking, and electronics, as well as vinyl cutting, sewing, and thermoforming.
