Brief Biography

Interested in electronics and taking things apart since I was a kid. I enjoy reverse engineering things to understand how they work and how they can be made to work differently than they were originally intended.

I worked on reverse engineering the Neato XV-11 LIDAR and ran www.xv11hacking.com before the company that hosted it, WikiSpaces, went out of business. I have migrated that data here under the Robotics section of the wiki.
