Hi, I'm Alexandre Coninx, aka Endy. EndyFourbe on IRC. endy at viletfourbe dot org by mail.

I'm not a paid HS member yet but I intend to join before the end of the month (september 2013).

Stuff I want to do at the hackspace

• An air muscle powered exoskeleton
• Build my own laptop
• NFC hacking
• (More) beer brewing

Stuff I'm interested in

• Autonomous robotics, bioinspired artificial intelligence (well that's actually my job)
• Assistive robotics, exoskeletons, etc. (not much experience with this but want to explore) Wearable interfaces, too.
• Computer security in general
• Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
• NFC and contactless technology
• Mind hacking and neurohacking (BMI and various applied psycho/neuroscience)
• Philosophy of mind, constructivism, transhumanism
• 3D printing and home fabbing (no real experience but want to learn/hack)
• Homebrewing and more generally cooking

Stuff I know about (and can give a hand / teach)

• Linux debian (10 years experience, not a professional sysadmin but can probably make about anything work)
• Networking (the whole tcp/ip/ethernet stuff, routing protocols, DNS system, etc.)
• Programming (Mostly C, C++, Python, PHP, Urbi)
• Machine learning, autonomous behaviors, bioinspired AI, sensorimotor theories. Some computer vision too
• Some electronics (OK with a soldering iron, already used a SMT placement machine & reflow oven a few times)
• Some computational neuroscience (if anyone cares)
• Beer brewing (not as good as our resident brewers)
• Some things on NFC/RFID hacking
• Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (how they work, why you should be interested, how to use it safely)

Stuff I want to learn at the space

• Using the wonderful tools of the hackspace, especially
  • Metal working tools
  • 3D printer
  • Laser cutter
• CAD and mechanical engineering in general
• Lockpicking ?
• Anything else that fits my interests or is useful for my projects, really
