Minh Tran
Minh Tran is a mechanical designer who spends 8–12 hours a day at a desk, at the office and at home. Years of long CAD sessions brought the usual warning signs: lower-back pain and getting tired much faster than before.
The Apex Workflows started as Minh's own project to fix that: working out the right chair, desk and monitor heights, then digging through spec sheets to find gear that actually helps. As a mechanical designer, Minh is used to reading load ratings, lift mechanisms and dimensional drawings, and that's the lens these guides use.
Minh isn't a doctor or a certified ergonomist. The guides share research and personal experience, not medical advice. If you have ongoing pain, see a clinician.
