I work for the Makerbot Industries R&D department to develop the electronics and software that drive their personal 3D printers.

As seen on TV!
The SudoGlove interprets hand gestures to control hardware or software. I've used it to drive RC Cars, synthesize music, and more.

ReacXion is my attempt to bridge engineering and artistry. The ReacXion display is an audiovisual theremin that translates movement into color and "music".

This MSP430 weather station measures humidity, temperature, and light levels remotely and transmits them to a computer that plots them in real time.

I worked on the 3rd gen "LUKE" Prosthetic Arm at DEKA Research and Development. I contributed to the design of the circuit boards for hand and upper-arm control.

The RoboClaw uses a Propeller chip paired with a small server to enable remote claw control via a web interface. A webcam streams to the claw-control webpage.

The Nerf Sentry Gun implements a webcam and image recognition software to identify/track intruders and fire darts at them. It tweets and uploads images.

The DeepNote Bot uses photodiodes, a Parallax Propeller, and parallel processing software to play the Guitar Hero video game in real time with 99% accuracy.

IEEE Robotics & Automation
This robot emulates the functionality of an enzyme on a protein by attaching to a structure and manipulating it while attached.

I lead electronics development for the the Fab@Home 3D printer. My research focuses on developing improved safety systems and a more cohesive system-level design.

This project focused on designing "Programmable Matter" cubes capable of arranging themselves into a desired object when disturbed stochastically in a fluid.

2008 Intel Talent Search Finalist
I developed a cheaper, less invasive method for controlling prosthetic devices by using a force sensor-equipped cast.

I delivered a talk on Environmental Sustainability as part of the White House's Young America Speaker Series at Syracuse University.

I traveled to the Intrepid Museum with CUSD to teach kids about electricity & circuits using potato batteries.

I traveled to the Brooklyn Children's Museum with CUSD to teach kids about sustainable engineering through hands-on projects.

I gave a talk titled "Open Source Society" at Cornell's 2011 TEDx event. I explained how the philosophy of open source sharing could be expanded to other fields.

I lectured at the BlueStamp Engineering program about how I got into engineering and how to go open source. I also helped students with their projects.

The Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) aims to end generational poverty through education. I taught students about sustainable architecture and engineering.

Ignite is a fast-paced evening of 5 minute talks. My talk focused on how experiential learning is critical for developing the next generation of engineers.

I produce a series of widely viewed Arduino Tutorials sponsored by element14. A search on youtube for "Arduino Tutorial" features mine almost exclusively.

I write articles for the element14 Do-It-Together Blog, a subsidiary of Newark Electronics. My postings range from renewable energy to security systems.

I produce video and textual reviews of electronic components to assist hobbyists in selecting parts for their assorted projects.

I love being a part of the "Maker Community" - Sometimes, I even get invited to guest-host engineering podcasts.

I founded and lead CUSD, which creates resilient structures in the built environment to realize a future of ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

I lead CUSD's Sustainability Research Facility team. The project aims to construct a facility for conducting interdisciplinary sustainability research.

I co-chaired and gave the opening address at the first annual ISSS in NYC, which brought together 100 entrepreneurs, student-leaders and educators.

I led the Energy Controls team for Cornell's entry into the 2009 Solar Decathlon. I oversaw the development of an automation and energy monitoring system.

I designed the website for the Every1 Campaign, a group working to encourage the community to talk about how to have healthy communication and sex.

This 3rd overhaul of my website adds a dynamic front page and a portfolio. I created the header by designing and rendering a circuit board in eagle CAD.

Working with a team, I developed a unique wordpress template and supplementary back-end for building engaging websites for projects pursued by CUSD.

I launched version 2.0 of my website in the summer of 2010. The new design was easier on the eye and had more room for content.

UltimateComputers.net was a community for computer-building enthusiasts. I produced content and developed a user portal for the site's 1000's of users.

This is the first version of my personal website. I used it from September 2007 until July of 2010, when I updated the design to version 2.0.

I developed back-end and front-end elements of Cornell's 2009 Solar Decathlon website. Interactive features allow the user to explore the capabilities of the house.

I developed MechanizedRock.com as a dedicated showcase for the DeepNote Guitar Hero Bot that I developed with 4 friends.

I performed reviews of assorted computer components to assist people in making more informed choices when buying hardware to build their own computers.

I filmed the construction of several computer builds, and showed each build in a unique video format. These videos seeded my creation of ultimatecomputers.net.

I produced a series of tutorials focused on computer building and modification. They have garnered hundreds of thousands of unique views on youtube.

I produced a series of vlogs to introduce concepts in computer engineering. The series covers everything from RAID hard drives to analog-to-digital conversion.
