About Me
I'm a hardware hacker living in Guildford. I enjoy working with electronics, particularly Programmable ICs and circuit design. I've recently be documenting the procedure for making high quality PCBs at the hackspace. I also own a Makerbot Cupcake 3D printer, and am an active member of the Thames Valley RapRap User Group (TVRRUG). I'm skilled with OpenSCAD based 3D design, as well as more general mechanical design. I've a degree in Quantum Physics and WAY to many ideas for projects to work on.

I currently work as a Television Camera Engineer/Cameraman specialising in remote controlled cameras. A fun job, but it does tend to swallow weekends. With the Olympics approaching, I've no idea how much free time I will have to visit the space.

I try to get down to the space every Wednesday, other commitment permitted, as well as traveling over when I need to work on a particular project.
