I've been a maker since before that term and culture existed. I tinker, build, take apart, fix, try new things, learn. Always have, always will. My desk is a mess of electronics parts. My workbench, too. It turns out that that sort of drive to create means you get pretty good at it. Having boundless curiousity as well as a talent for integrating all that information means you get very good at a lot of things very quickly. Repeat over three decades and a few subjects and well. Don't need a degree to know things.

As a result, I've designed everything from musical instruments (and played them) to industrial motor monitors. Written software for wearable electronics, sewn soft circuits, and wired electrical boxes for massive plastic shredders and extruders. Built hydroponic machines and wooden furniture. Made a programming language and wrote the interpreter for it, as well as designing precision control firmware for biomedical research equipment for it to direct. Some of those I can go into more detail about than others. Most have been fun, challenging, and educational.
