I have consulted on a number of programming projects ranging from robotic fabrication platforms to mobile applications. I have also taught introductory programming classes for other designers at the University of Michigan. https://paperspace.com https://twitter.com/HelloPaperspace https://www.facebook.com/HelloPaperspace
