Hardware Engineer & Maker of Things

I am the Maker of Things

With a deep-rooted passion for robotics, I am an Electronics Engineer by trade with a strong interest in electronics. Robotics is a well-balanced blend of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Throughout my career in product development, I have become highly proficient in rapid prototyping which leads to mass manufacturing. Along this journey, I developed a keen interest in knowledge management within the realm of manufacturing, making it my mission to ensure a smooth and efficient development lifecycle. In my free time, I design Electronics Badges for conferences. I lead the hardware development of the electronic badge, which serves as the entry ticket for participants and features Easter eggs, hacking challenges, and interactive games.

Community Contribution

I made it my priority to solve a problem in my local community: the lack of space and access to tools for projects. Thus, I have been working on pooling the ressources into local workshops to better serve the community.

#BadgeLife

Badgelife is a vibrant subculture found at hacking conferences like DEFCON, where participants design, create, and exchange custom electronic badges. These badges, often made from PCBs, showcase intricate designs, LED lights, and puzzles or challenges. Badgelife enthusiasts use these creations as a form of artistic expression and technical skill demonstration, fostering a community of creativity and collaboration. My business card was submitted to a Hackaday contest and featured on pcgamer.com.

Lots of fun! Meet me at DEFCON and Northsec to nerd out on Badges.
