After having a career in the art/design/programming fields for 20+ years, I've finally shifted gears to unleash my inner-engineer. Since January 2024, I've become a full-time YouTuber, with a focus on my interest in small-scale manufacturing. I've been sharing my journey as I build up my prototyping workshop with the latest manufacturing technologies, and enabling DIY'ers on how to build fiber laser cutting machines. I enjoy challenging projects and I keep pushing the limits to make previously out-of-reach technologies accessible to us small workshops.
Fiber laser cutting & engraving, CO2 lasers, CNC milling, CNC lathe, 3D printing, injection molding, machine retrofitting, prototyping, programming, design, and hobby electronics.

Meanwhile, last night I recorded an interview with Xiaodong from Sky Fire Laser if you are interested in learning more about both me and their company.
