Projects
Things I build when nobody is paying me to. Some are robotics experiments, some are iOS or Python tools that scratch an itch, and some exist purely to try a new idea out before I'd trust it on a client's product. They're rougher than the work on the Experience page, and that's the point: this is where I learn.
