I've been a front-end developer for 15 years, but my real joy comes from combining code with my love for arts and crafts. When I hit a snag with my drawing machines or laser cutter projects, I tend to solve it by writing my own software. The fun part? Other makers often have the same problems, so I clean up my solutions and offer them at reasonable prices. It's not my main gig, but there's something satisfying about creating tools that help fellow hobbyists and artists tackle the same creative challenges I face in my own workshop.
