Maker / Developer / Tinkerer
I believe hands shape the world. Coding, drafting, soldering, fixing — moving fluidly between the digital and the physical.
I'm Ray, obsessed with making things. Ever since I took apart my first radio as a kid, I've been captivated by one question: how do things work?
My world spans two dimensions: on one side, the purity of code and logic — programming, system architecture, open source; on the other, the warmth of physical making — 3D printing, CNC machining, electronics, repair and restoration. To me, these aren't opposites, just different outlets for the same creative impulse.
Beyond that, I'm drawn to the deep structures of philosophy and mathematics, finding stillness in Zen, beauty in axioms. I believe a good maker needs both an engineer's rigor and a humanist's heart.

End-to-end practice from modeling to slicing. Experienced with both FDM and resin printing — structural parts, enclosures, jigs, and creative models.
Tinkering and fixing all kinds of electronics — phone screen replacements, laptop repairs, appliance troubleshooting. I enjoy bringing broken things back to life.
