I've been inventing since a kid - designing and building entertainment & media technology devices and systems to create new creative possibilities, effects and experiences.
From making electronic systems, to Raspberry Pi's powering live caption display engines and Software-Defined Radios today and IoT snow sensors & home automation, to being the Google Workspace Administrator for two organizations. From building theatrical lighting controllers and color organs, to designing and building laser display systems (including designing custom optics tables & projectors, mechanical systems, fog distribution, electronic controls and fiber optic remote projectors). I also wrote much of the control software.

.... and a while back:
Rebuilt my college radio station's aging, tiny studio
Built my high school's first-ever video studio as an independent study
Did pyrotechnics for several high school drama productions (and for my Zoology class preso on the Ferret)
Started my high school's Computer Club as a freshman
Won Best of Show in 8th grade Science Fair, for building a sound synthesizer from the TI SN76477N chip
IoT Automated Snow Depth & Weather Sensor for my snowmobile club - still works after a decade!
