creative technologist, allegedly
Hi there! I’m Alex. I’m a 20-year old longtime maker, former esports player, and current maker advocate.
I spent 10 years growing up without a proper community to build & share physical projects with, so I’m currently building it out myself @ Hack Club.
Need to reach me? Find me at:
| github ~ twitter ~ [email protected] |
In the past, I designed my own 3D printer from scratch (that fits in a filament box!), ran a 4-day hardware hackathon at GitHub HQ, and also played Overwatch semi-professionally.
I’m deeply interested in creating a third space for young people to make projects together, both online and in person.
If you ever see me in public, please say hi! I promise I don’t bite.
My online handle is @qcoral, or dari depending on where you found me!
Here’s what I’m up to in the coming weeks!
