Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues – broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
My recent projects include building various Star Wars droids including BB-8, a GONK Power Droid and R2-D2 R6, as well as various Marvel projects like my Iron Man and Hulkbuster projects. More serious robotics series include Ultron the “Real Robot” and my bipedal humanoid Robot X.
