Hey, I’m Quinn Hanson
I’m an Engineer and the creator of OpsCombinator. This is a place for solving problems, having fun and making stuff better. I primarily use this site to post about tools from Industrial Engineering. I also put them in an easily digestible book, The Pocket Guide To Making Stuff Better.

My background is in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering, AKA process improvement. There is a saying that Engineers make things, Industrial Engineers make things better. That’s what I’m here to do; I’d like to make the world a better place before I leave it. One way I do that is by sharing the most powerful tools for making improvements to your work and life.
