Hey, I’m a 24 year old PhD student, living in Christchurch New Zealand.

I grew up on a dairy farm in a small town called Te Aroha. I have one sister, also a graduate of the University of Canterbury. My Undergraduate degree was in Electrical Engineering. I then completed a Masters in Engineering management, looking at commercializing and monetization of Open Source projects, including open source hardware designs.
My PhD research is in conjunction with Geospatial Research Centre and my proposed PhD topic is investigating omnidirectional vision systems for the control and navigation of unpiloted aerial vehicles. It is expected this goal will narrow as my studies progress.
In my spare time I like to play sport, hack on random bits of electronics, contribute to open source projects and generally try not to procrastinate myself into oblivion.
