A little about me

I'm the Principal Architect of the Product Engineering team at Vervint, a consulting firm.

Away from my day job, I co-run Homeroom with my wife, Megan, and I tinker on personal projects, mostly computer vision experiments and the occasional LEGO contraption.

I'm based in the Grand Rapids area.

Computer vision and OCR

I'm building a computer vision test suite that measures read rates and analyzes test bench results, so businesses can make confident decisions about cameras, lighting, and OCR.

project

LEGO sorter

A 3D-printed conveyor feeds parts one at a time under a camera, software identifies each piece, and a robot arm drops it into a bin.
