A gallery of component-level micro-soldering, vintage audio restoration, and Right-to-Repair successes — built on values shaped by the people who matter most.
Technology isn't just about cool gadgets — for many of us, it's life-sustaining and liberating. As a Type 1 Diabetic who relies on an insulin pump every single day, I live firsthand how automated systems and algorithms increase human accessibility and independence. I bring that exact same philosophy to open technology and AI: algorithms should be ethical, accessible tools that empower individuals and level the playing field — not corporate gatekept black boxes.
