I am a maker interested in creating tools to help other makers better building prototypes or learning new technical skills. I am specifically interested in tools for electronics and physical computing, fabrication, and mechanical systems for body augmentation. I also develop tangible and wearable interfaces for enhancing and altering sensory perception and input capabilities, such as haptic controllers and smart-wearables.
