Engineering

I've undertaken many projects for my own personal research and development, presenting great opportunities to share my findings in a video format.

Teaching

I cover a wide variety of subject material. My FreeCAD for Beginners course is the most viewed on YouTube, reaching hundreds of thousands of students, amassing close to one million total views.

Raptor II, a 3D-printed all-wheel-drive RC car, on a sandy beach

Inspiring

Projects such as Raptor II continue to show people what is possible through the learning and development of skills such as CAD, Programming & CNC manufacturing. I released this project as open-source to inspire the community to get involved.
