Who I Am

I make stuff. I've always made stuff since I was a kid. Moved on from Legos to electronics and computers. Became an EE, went to work for a chip manufacturer, MEMS startup and appliance manufacturer. Having freed myself from corporate shackles, I have since become an independent consultant and member of TinkerMill, the Longmont hackerspace. I now finally have time to work on my own projects! I specialize in low power systems and technologies to enable them.

Why I'm on Hackaday.io

Because it's cool. :-) This is where makers hang out.

    Hello followers, this is me begging. :)

    I have 3 projects submitted for the Hackaday Prize 2017: #LiFePO4wered/Pi+, #LiFePO4wered/Solar1 and #PTSprinkler. If you haven't done so yet, please consider "liking" them since that way you can help fund my development without even spending a dime, since it's SupplyFrame that picks up the tab.

    Thanks!

    Patrick
