About Me

Everything Can Be Learned With Commitment

A lot of what I’ve learned, worked on, and produced hasn’t always been something that I really know or has been done before. But what I do know – is that I’m mighty capable of learning a lot of things.

I’m a philomath – a lover of learning. I have many interests and am constantly acquiring as much knowledge as possible. And by accumulating all these diverse interests and knowledge, I’m able to adopt that into my jobs.

My interests in programming, cinema and photography, 3D modeling and printing have all been things I’ve taught myself and then brought into various jobs over the years.

 

Also, I enjoy teaching others and that’s part of what I want to share through this site. By sharing how-to articles and some of the work I do, I hope to give back to others and help others level-up. As well as help myself – I’m currently inspired by the NoCode movement and I’m developing some small NoCode projects, so I hope for some feedback and idea sharing towards that.

My fulfillment comes from creation. My most rewarding roles have been in the creation of both hardware and software products. Being able to point to a tangible result after months or years of work is an amazing feeling. Even sketching out a simple, small bracket, refining it in 3D modeling software, iterating and then printing a physical object is a thrilling end to end journey. I like sharing that journey and inspiring others.
