I | 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 [https://github.com/nanoBorg88/gif_moire_processing here] but first check out the demo video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHg7f35PrEY&safe=active here] | ||

I | 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. | ||
==About me== | ==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. 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 studied Materials Science in the University of Oxford and graduated in 2011.

I want to hone my design and manufacturing skills and produce new and innovative products people will buy. | |||

This is a concept I would like to test out. The idea is that a low resolution array of pixels like that in a led matrix can be physically shifted in the x and y directions by an amount 1/2 of the distance between the led. The display will need a faster refresh rate but this could quadruple the resolution of the initial display. I am investigating different mechanical methods to shift the screen in the two axis and I think it might be doable with this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5ZwxzSrrO0&safe=active mechanism]. If you're interested in this concept tell me on my twitter. | This is a concept I would like to test out.
