Hello World Update

It’s been awhile since my last real update and a lot’s been going on. First, the good people of Popular Mechanics reached out to me earlier this year about the squirrel/sentry gun project and did a little write-up about it in their September 2012 issue. Having grown up on Popular Mechanics it was very cool and flattering. (I’m still tempted to send away for plans to build a flying ship out of ordinary household vacuum cleaners.) I think my favorite part was getting a cartoon rendering of myself. And to all the people who write to me about their ongoing wildlife battles: stay strong!

Since my last real update, I also left my amazing team to start a new adventure. I am now the Director of Technology at Pruvop. As a digital products laboratory we work on a wide-range of projects, from building functional prototypes for early-stage startups to helping larger organizations streamline their internal processes by integrating intelligent automation software. I’m back in the mud again, designing and building all sorts of cool projects in Downtown Durham. It has been great being surrounded by a cross-functional team (marketing, business, developers) who all appreciate the strengths of agile and lean methodologies.

I hope to be able to share some new developments in the coming months!
