What I'm working on

I joined the Hackspace at the end of May 2013 and interested in lots of stuff to do with science and electronics.

I know the graphical programming language Processing, I love making sketched on the phone app while on the tube. I have a cool animation maker I had developed using processing that you can get here but first check out the demo video here

I attend the Not Just Arduino meetings whenever I can. I am a repair volunteer for an organisation called Restart Project which I can help people fix their electronics and reduce ewaste.

I am also a member of Create Space in north-west London.

About me

I studied Materials Science in the University of Oxford and graduated in 2011. I've previously worked at a school as a high-school lab technician. I'm currently exploring ways in which my talents and interests in making can earn me a living. I think I'm really good at finding out why something isn't working and how to fix it. I love science and constantly learning something new. My brain sometimes forgets to turn off and I'm constantly coming up with new inventions (at the moment still on paper) and I hope with the hack space I'll be able to make some of these a reality. I want to hone my design and manufacturing skills and produce new and innovative products

 ==What I'm working on==
-I joined the Hackspace at the end of May 2013 and interested in almost everything. I know a bit of the graphical programing language Processing, and have recently created my first instructable [http://www.instructables.com/id/Oily-paper-lithophane-like-picture-thing/ here] which can split an image you give it into different thresholds and neatly arrange it in a format that would print on an A4 piece of paper. The paper can be cut and folded (and covered in oil to make it a bit more transparent), and when it is held to the light it produces an interesting image. I intent to use the output of this file on a laser printer so its more true to a lithophane.

-I have finished writing a sketch on processing that can use frames from a gif image and convert it into a circular moire type pattern. I want to clean it up a bit but intend to stick it on instructables soon.

-I am keen to start a physical electronics project soon, working on a different sort of scrolling display, to explore a bit more on microcontrollers, and just investigate whether it can be done.
+I attend the [[Not_Just_Arduino|Not Just Arduino]] meetings whenever I can.
+I am a repair volunteer for an organisation called [http://therestartproject.org Restart Project] which I can help people fix their electronics and reduce ewaste.

+I am also a member of [http://createspacelondon.org/ Create Space] in north-west London.
-I also like to see the interesting things that they have at the [[Music_Hack_Space|Music Hack Space]]. I would like to work on a simple electronic instrument in the future.
 ==About me==
-I studied Materials Science in the University of Oxford and graduated in 2011. I'm currently working at a school in north west London as a lab technician(and constantly getting told off for not getting my lazy ass out of there and getting a better job). I am the person they call when something is broken. I think I'm really good at finding out why something isn't working and how to fix it. My brain sometimes forgets to turn off and I'm constantly coming up with new inventions.

-I am looking for a new job, and would love to work on some up-and-coming technology, if you like what I do and know someone working on something awesome get me in touch with them, I really appreciate it.
