if you haven't figured it out yet, my name's Colin.
i'm a guy living out his 20's in Seattle.
i grew up in the suburbs and moved to the city for uni, but it takes only a 30 mile radius to enclose every home i've had.
i grew up in the suburbs, moved to the city for uni, and can't imagine ever going back.
i've always loved to tinker, particularly with machines. in some ways DIY defines my life.
after spending my teens coding video games and synthesizers,
i broadened the domain through
Electrical Engineering studies at the University of Washington.
i continued on to study Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington.
i specialized in digital VLSI, colloquially, "chip design".
since then i've worked a couple jobs at mid-size tech companies,
but increasingly i struggle to reconcile my old days of exploring and building
machines by hand with the broader norm of black-box products
things by hand with the broader norm of black-box products
delivered to passive consumers. why _can't_ i build the CPU
for this server the same way i build the software for it?
in the extreme, why _can't_ i build my own physical home the same
way i build my digital home here? in the very long run, that
seems like a reasonable goal. it seems like a fulfilling direction
in which to push things.
way i build my digital home here? let's eliminate this
division between "producer" and "consumer" and be both at the
same time: that's what i'm about.
