I am a roboticist, designer, developer, and hardware hacker interested in the following industries:
- Robotics (autonomous, transportation, logistics, security, etc)
- Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering
- Bioscience, Biotechnologies, and Bioinformatics
- Genetics (Biological, Synthetic)
- Industrial Design and Theory
- Development languages (C, D, Elixir, Rust)
I founded DNX Industries, an industrial robotics laboratory developing modular robotic platforms, and work as a government contractor.
Previously, I was the co-founder of IdeaDrops Inc, MxMedia, and Activity+ Analytics. I additionally did work as a managing technician for a number of hardware development and repair shops.
IdeaDrops Inc
