Quick Links: Current Work, My Favorites, Video Games, Video Production / VO, and Music
I’ve been creating things online for over 20 years, from my career in web development writing standards-compliant HTML, CSS, and Javascript, my crowdfunding and media work with Structure Sensor (Occipital), OpenCV AI Kit (Luxonis), OpenCV (the world’s largest computer vision library), and my indieweb projects gaming blog Set Side B and public domain streaming channels on RetroStrange.
I’ve helped clients make millions of dollars. You can hire me to do voiceover, narration, and video production. I have created and released music, too. Here’s some of my best stuff, present and past:
OpenCV Live!
Embedded above is the latest episode of OpenCV Live – A webinar series hosted by OpenCV CEO Dr. Satya Mallick and me, which I also produce and book the guests for.
RetroStrange
RetroStrange is dedicated to uncovering and celebrating the weird side of public domain & vintage media. We run a few streaming services: RetroStrange TV is a 24/7 live stream of awesome public domain movies and short features and a monthly movie watch along series, RetroStrange Radio 1 features Old Time Radio episodes, and Radio 2 is public domain music from the early 20th century.

Occipital Bridge & Structure Sensor
From 2013-2020 I worked at Occipital (Now Canvas), first as a full-stack web developer and later as a Senior UX Engineer and running the company presence at conferences and in-person events. I helped launch the Structure Sensor, the first 3D capture device for iPad, and designed + implemented the Django-based store from scratch. It went on to process over 3 million dollars in sales during my time there. My other work included designing the original packaging and creating many videos and voiceovers for the many features of Structure Sensor and Structure SDK. I also got to design large interactive booth spaces for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which was a lot of fun.
