Chief Tinkerer & Founder
CurrentThis is the place where my ideas, passions and distractions are given the chance to grow. TinkerTek was originally known as Razedigital and started out as an excuse to buy new gadgets, CNC machines and laboratory gear. We've built solutions using things like Google Glass, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Occulus Rift and lots of custom hardware. In addition to those we've built and destroyed more race vehicles, robots, autonomous vehicles, quad copters and video gear than I can count. After some unexpected initial success, my playground has grown to become our in house incubator. We are focused on finding the highly profitable opportunities in emerging technology. 90% of what we build here will never see the light of day and that's fine with us because, the stuff that does make it tends to be game changing.We work here mostly on our own ideas and interests and when an idea grows into a product, we send it off to live on it's own. We've developed a strong team of financial, operational, supply chain and marketing pro's to take our products to market at scale. They are as passionate about their jobs as I am about the technology we build.We are developing software, hardware and electronics for web, mobile and task specific applications. We do our own product design and fabrication and have extensive in house design capabilities. We have significant 3D printing, CNC and PCB prototyping capabilities in house. We have supplier and production relationships in China and Europe and are capable of pulling together all of the pieces necessary to bring a technology product to market at scale.We're having more fun here than I should admit. We have ideas that we'll never have time to build but we are always on the lookout for amazing things to build with the right partners.This years projects for fun? A bigger Tesla Coil (yes, again), Stand up a SEM that I bought at auction a couple years ago which has been collecting dust, build anything and everything I can with an FPGA.
