I'm the founder of Bottango, a software platform I created out of a single, strong desire: "To make creative expression through robotics, animatronics, and hardware intuitive and approachable." Bottango is used by thousands of creators, from first time builders to theme park professionals, to bring their creative vision to life, and be the effortless brains behind real world animatronic and robotic artistry.http://www.Bottango.comAs well, I am navigating the worlds of manufacturing and supply chains to fully close the gap of access to animatronics as an art form, by brining a full animatronic in a box.• Creator and developer of the Bottango desktop application.
