My Tedx Talk

I was recently invited to give a Tedx Talk at my university. I ended up giving almost two talks in one. The first has part of the talk deals with how problem solving by humans is obsolete and inefficient. The second part deals with how if humans are not meant to be solely problem solvers what good are we and what is our secret sauce that will allow us to remain relevant?

ERAU Housing Internal Site

This was a basic functional website that I had intended for the ERAU Department of Housing and Residence Life to utilize for internal communication and collaboration. I created multiple tools and portals that were meant to make the Resident Assistant job easier.

I was an RA when I built this site. The department didn't want to run with it. So it was a failed project, but still a useful one. If you would like to take a look go ahead and visit it. The password it "hi'

Note: ERAU is not affiliated with the creation of the site in any way. I edited some of the website's functionality to protect department information.

Slant Concepts

Slant is the reincarnated version of Universal Mechanisms. While still basically in development we are operating with what we have.

Slant is a product micro-production and development firm. We focus on the creation of a quantity of ideas instead of a quantity of product units. Meaning we like to try one thing and if it doesn't work we move on to the next. Instead of working to develop the "One-Hit Wonder" of products we work to create good products for niche markets. We are the opposite of the mass production model.

Since Slant is based on micro-production we focus on the creation of products that can be stored digitally, which eliminates the need to store physical inventory. This means that we do a lot of 3-D printing and self-publishing. Something is made when it is purchased.

I currently run Slant alone from a dorm room. But when I need help I bring in friends and free-lancers. I suppose that 'we' is really just the rolodex of people that have helped when Slant was UniMech and will be helping with the development of Slant in the future.
