May 2017 to August 2020

I found myself very fortunate to be able to explore my passion for problem-solving with technology at wonderMakr. I can't share all the juicy details of these projects as they're paid work, but here are some of the cool things I've been involved with:

Projects

• Massive (300+) fully wireless outdoor light show installed at event grounds
• Projection mapping with physical triggers
• Integration of electrical controls into mechanical animatronics
• Demonstration devices using moving water to represent speed, volume, etc.
• Automatic speed measurements with action-shot photos for sports activities
• Mobile phone recharging stations with fast-charging enabled after an engagement
• "Step-to-reveal" floor sensor integrations with digital content displays
• Wireless RFID-to-Cloud tap fixtures
• AV solutions for high-resolution, low-latency video streaming
• Remote-controlled physical animations and effects for live filming
• "Party mode" integration in engagement spaces with lights, wind, confetti, fog, snow, etc.
• Modification of toys and games to provide more interactive and/or automated engagements
• Large-format CNC-style drawing machines
• Custom video screen and light integrations in complex physical shapes
• Social media driven vending solutions both large and small, classic and custom
• Custom vending machine controls
• "Bullet-time" camera platform
• Integration of physical sensors in objects to control video games
• Standalone wireless video streaming platform for a consumer drone on a cross-country flight
• Control system implementation for a prototype amusement ride
• Two digital "Hi-Striker" carnival games
• Many more things that are too specific or obscure to vaguely describe!
