Two books published, several design awards won, thousands of articles posted, and millions of views generated—I know the maker industry.
Technical Expertise
3D Printing
25 years ago, I saw my first 3D-printed object and I was immediately hooked. I have worked with 3D printers professionally for the past 15 years and reviewed dozens of 3D printers, covered cutting-edge 3D printing breakthroughs, and published Idiot’s Guides: 3D Printing.
CNC
Machining is my second love and that includes milling and turning (both manual and CNC). I have a basic machine shop in my garage, write about CNC projects, and review CNC and manual machines.
Laser Cutting
Laser engraving and cutting has grown rapidly in the hobbyist, consumer, and prosumer markets. I’ve been covering those developments for several years and have reviewed a number of laser machines.
Microcontrollers
Microcontrollers and associated development boards, like those from Arduino, help makers bring their projects to life. As a regular contributor to the official Arduino blog and Hackster News, I have a great deal of experience with this technology.
CAD
In 2010, I graduated with an Associate Degree in Drafting Technology. Afterwards, I spent years working in the biomedical, automotive, and security industries as a mechanical designer & drafter. In 2019, I published A Beginner’s Guide to 3D Modeling: A Guide to Autodesk Fusion 360.
Single-Board Computers
With articles published in Raspberry Pi’s HackSpace magazine and hundreds of additional articles across several other publications, I have developed a deep understanding of single-board computers and their applications.
Services
Freelance Writing
From news articles to press releases, I have the experience to write about complex technical topics in a way that makers of all levels can understand.
Over the course of my career, I have published several thousand articles—millions of words—about technology and maker projects. I can help you create written content that is both accessible and engaging, so you can increase views and your authority on the internet.
Bespoke Projects
I don’t just write about maker projects—I create them myself. Thanks to my deep experience across a wide range of disciplines and technologies, I can develop an idea into a functional prototype.
Several of my projects have won awards on sites like Instructables. Such projects are great for bringing attention to the products, services, and software used in their construction.
Tutorials and How-To Guides
I can write tutorials and how-to guides, complete with photos and videos, to showcase your products. Whether hosted on your website or on project sites like Hackster, Hackaday.io, and Instructables, these guides can help your customers use your products and increase satisfaction.
Robust documentation is also a powerful sales tool, as potential customers are more likely to buy into thriving ecosystems with lots of information to guide them along their journey.
Product Reviews
Professional reviews are the single-most influential component of a successful product launch. Good reviews can make a campaign, while poor reviews can break it.
I specialize in publishing accessible and conversational reviews that consumers trust. Over the decades, I have cultivated a reputation for honesty and integrity, which hold tremendous weight when potential customers make a purchase decisions.
