Electronics, robotics and egineering are my favourite hobbies. I haven’t actually designed or built anything robotic yet, but is something I am interested in doing. I also enjoy ‘technical creativity’, such as designing this website, and post-processing photos. I have recently purchased a midi keyboard with digital audio workstation software (Bitwig Studio) and want to play around with sounds and create a track or two.
Electronics
This is my main interest. I have been learning electronics on and off since I was around 8 years old. I studied Electronic Engineering and worked in the field for 5 years before moving into IT.
Photography
Capturing photos is something I enjoy doing when out or on holiday with my family. Post-processing photos and creating panoramas allows me to combine the technical skill of Photoshop and Hugin with the limited amount of creativity I have to create the final artwork.
Home Automation
Home Automation!
Engineering
This is really just a combination of some my other hobbies – 3D modelling, electronics, software development, metalwork, woodwork, etc. to create something that has all these components.
3D Modelling
3D Modelling is something I got involved with when Google released Sketchup, and later when RS released a cut-down version of Space Claim, branded DesignSpark Mechanical. I create 3D models for projects where I need to explore the structure and visualise the end product.
Software Development
Software!
Website Design
WordPress
Metalwork
Metalwork was a subject I took for 5 years in high school. I enjoy creating things out of metal, and it gives me the skillset to create parts for my engineering hobby. I now have a near fully equipped workshop.
