I was the inaugural guest on TE Connectivity’s Maker To Maker podcast. I enjoyed the conversation with Brooke Glassman very much!
TE Connectivity

I was approached by the wonderful folks at Contravent to create a machine that played music. It was a challenging project- we collaborated with Pull […]

Meccano Lab

UCI Magazine
I got a little love from my graduate school not long ago, thanks to Roy Rivenburg for writing a great piece! Domino Effect
