About me

During my time in university, I came to learn that I love jumping in on something I believe has a chance to work. All it takes is a half-baked idea of a concept that doesn’t need to exist, and suddenly three hours have passed and I’m 3D printing the fourth and final prototype of wheel fenders for an electric skateboard. Sure, I may have figured out the perfect shape to cover the wheel and stop rain splashing up, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t fall off and break thirty feet into the test ride.

To me it doesn’t matter much that an idea seems ridiculous. The idea of working on something that no one has put effort into before pushes me to be the first, even if the final product ends up as a story of something I tried once. Often that means learning something new to give a full effort, whether it’s a new language or a piece of software I’m not familiar with. Honestly, I think that’s why I gravitated to computers: there’s really no limit to what you can try.

I know success is never guaranteed, but I’d love to be the person who tried. Even if it does mean falling off a skateboard after running over a prototype water fender.

Now

I work on digital diagnostics software at Midmark. Outside work I’m shipping 3D-printed recliner parts through Barlow Fabrication, keeping RapidFTA running, and occasionally making music with stepper motors.
