Let’s make something!

Life’s too short to just consume…

About

Hi! My name is Joe. I have a Bachelor and Master of Science in Robotics Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I am a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Maine, and I currently work as a Senior Electrical Engineer. I love robots!!!

When I’m not working, I’m usually either working on one of my many many (many) projects, or exercising in support of my favorite physical activity: running. I like to travel around the United States, and really enjoy being in nature at our beautiful National Parks.

Besides that, I am also licensed as a Private Pilot, and hope to someday own (or build) my own plane. I also autocross a 1976 Firebird, have built an electric car, and will someday publish one of the many video game projects I’ve started…

So, thanks for visiting! I hope some of the work and information I’ve posted is of use to you. 🙂

Motivation

I am passionate about all sorts of robotics and mechatronics projects. I love to see the synthesis of clever hardware designs and robust software solutions, from inception to delivery.

My overarching mission is to become an expert in the field of robotics, and push towards ubiquitous robots that better our lives. From transportation to manufacturing and defense, I see a future where robots are the go-to trusted answer to problems.

To push towards this goal, I intend to pursue a PhD in Robotics Engineering, launch a career at a Federally Funded Research and Development Center, and work with leading experts on our nation’s most pressing issues for the public good.

Along the way, I plan on giving back to the community by volunteering in STEM activities for the youth, hoping to help ignite the same spark in a student that illuminated my future path so clearly.

Featured Projects

Of particular note while you’re here, I have a few projects that I feel are really special, and highlight some of the things that I’m passionate about and capable of.

I would recommend checking out my Electric Vehicle Conversion of an antique Austin Healey Sprite for a ground-up mechanical and electrical odyssey. Small, efficient electric vehicles are the future in my opinion, and I want to be ready for it.

Additionally, I love model-making, and anything in miniature. I made a remote-control 1/16 scale model of a Maus tank from WWII, and have posted the files and a series of YouTube tutorials so that anyone can make their own!

Finally, my blog of various adventures and running activities should give some motivation for you to get out there and explore this beautiful world.
