Hardware Development
My hardware build/design projects are mostly focused around smart city infrastructure and vehicle systems through my work at Mcity. Several of my designs have been published and licensed. Multiple projects are used in production vehicle testing by automotive companies. I get great joy from taking an idea and turning it into a physical thing.
I founded a makerspace in Allentown, PA called MakeLehighValley. I'm presently a member and previously on the board of the Ann Arbor, MI makerspace All Hands Active. I helped with running classes, maintaining the space, and helped navigate the process of making it a 501c3 non-profit.
I've written for and have been published by MakeMedia Make: Magazine. You can find my work in the print magazines, books, and blog posts. You can see some of my writing: here.Projects
