I’m Kevin. I design things. I have taken over twenty commercial products from concept to manufacture while navigating startup challenges along the way.

I design and manufacture educational and hobby robotics for kids, grownups, schools, edtech, and the Maker / DIY community. We go from fun idea to actual production of the robots right here in our own shop.Experience:Electronics engineering, PCB layout, embedded programming, Kickstarter & Crowdfunding, herding cats, dealing with all the nonsense small business owners deal with, PCB assembly, managing production (that herding cats thing again), fireworks when legal, and never taking things too seriously.Freelance:Got a project or project/product idea? I'm always up for interesting freelance work. I'm easy to talk to and get along with. If you think myself or PlumGeek could benefit your project, I'm happy to chat with you.

I invented RadioPopper in 2007. Working as a professional photographer at the time, I had the idea to create a radio bridge for the optical wireless communication system used by pro camera flashes. What began as a side project turned into a career. I never intended to really produce them, I just planned to solder one up, tape it to the side of my flash, and go back to work as a photographer. The company was extremely successful. The product line was transitioned to another company in 2015. I no longer have involvement with the product, but have great memories of the experience of building a successful and well respected product and company from the ground up.Experience:Radio and Wireless RF EngineeringPCB Board Design, Altium SoftwareDesign for ManufactureSolidworks & Plastics EngineeringSourcing Parts from Over Seas7 Patents - Patent Writing, and Patent Law ProcessManagement of up to 15 employees... and plenty more. If it has anything to do with designing electronics, industrial design, electronics manufacturing, contract manufacturing, and managing the whole process, I probably had some experience with it.
