I wrote a book, Exploring Arduino (now on it's second edition), to teach readers concepts in electrical engineering, computer science, and human-computer interaction using the Arduino microcontroller platform.

Last year, I spoke about empathetic engineering at Altium's annual PCB design conference. This year, they invited me back to take that topic a step further. In my 2019 AltiumLive keynote, I discuss what holistic product design means for electrical...

I recently had the privilege of delivering one of the keynote talks at AltiumLive 2018, an annual conference for circuit board designers. In my talk, I used Shaper (where I currently work) as a case study of how design thinking...

I recently spent the day at iFixit HQ, where we tore apart Shaper Origin - the handheld CNC that I helped design. Check out the video to see what makes this thing tick! Continue reading →

What's on my mind when I'm designing circuit boards? Listen to the latest Altium podcast and find out! "Altium Designer" is the software that I use to design the electronics for Shaper Origin. Continue reading →

Shaper Origin is the world's first handheld CNC.

J.A.R.V.I.S. is my custom-built home automation platform. I can control my lights, music, shades, and more through a natural language interface.

For me, the past two years have been all about bringing Shaper Origin to the world. Hear all about it in this week's Make(Break) Podcast! Continue reading →
