Work

Things I've built and helped ship.

Open hardware, voice tools, community projects, and the occasional deeply unnecessary Nerf mod — documented in public whenever possible.

LumenPnP

Co-founder, Opulo · Designer, LumenPnP

An open-source desktop pick-and-place machine for PCB assembly — designed to bring low-cost SMT manufacturing into makerspaces, small studios, and home benches without hiding the mechanics behind a black box.

Opulo GitHub

Fully open-source hardware with public docs, BOMs, and assembly guides
Built for repairability and iteration, not disposable factory tooling
A growing community of builders documenting mods, fixes, and workflows
Co-founded Opulo to ship the machine and keep development in the open

Documentation

OHAI

Open Hardware Assembly Instructions

Initiative lead · Opulo

I led the charge behind ohai.opulo.io — a documentation standard and public library that became a reference point for what open hardware instructions could look like: structured, honest, and built for people actually assembling machines.

ohai.opulo.io

Defined a format meant for assembly, repair, and production — not glossy marketing PDFs
Turned internal manufacturing SOPs into docs a global builder community could follow
Helped establish OHAI as a visible example of open hardware documentation done seriously
Gave other projects something concrete to point at when asking “what should our docs look like?”
