Hello, my name is

Engineer, nerd, chef

Thanks for visiting my website!

Rest assured, somewhere in Missouri, I got a notification that someone who wasn’t me viewed this page, my confetti cannons were fired, and I called my mom to tell her the good news. If you’re a professional who got directed here by my resume, check out the “Hire Me” section. If not, or if you’re interested anyway, take a look around the site. I’m 20 years late to it, but I have some blog topics on things that interest me, so if our Venn Diagram’s overlap you might like it as well!

  • Maybe I’ll just start over

    Well, for the clock, I have a working prototype. I’ve purchased three (3) 3D printers, largely to support this issue, but my most recent Bambu Lab X1-Carbon printer is incredible, so I can stop bumming time on my company’s model.

So when I was given a…

  • 9.39 Chapter Summary and Thoughts

    This was a pretty nice, calm chapter for the most part. Erin wakes up at the inn, works out with Ulvama (who emphasizes the need for combat readiness, potentially more foreshadowing towards Erin being more of a fighter), then gets a nice bath drawn by the Antinium. There’s a lot of notes on how Erin…

  • Magic Clock – Update 1

    The Idea Recently, on a roadtrip, my family and I exchanged location sharing data on Google Maps, so we could track each other’s progress. After we got home from vacation, we kept up the location sharing because it was fun and useful. For example, before I called my brother I could check if we was…

  • Cradle Series Review

    Non-stop, popcorn-eating action This is Kevin’s Cradle Series review. Cradle, by Will Wight, is one of my favorite series to read for exciting action without much overhead. The author himself says he is very strict on every scene that doesn’t advance the plot. Some may find this writing style lacks depth or rushes the plot…
