My latest project as of March 9th 2023. The goal is a comprehensive, detailed, interactive map of shipwrecks. The site will initially only cover The Great Lakes. • MapBox, MongoDB, Next.js, Node, React, TypeScript

I worked at NextCentury for four years. As a full stack web developer during my final year, a lead software and hardware tester for 2 years, and a technical support member for 1 year. The company had just 8 members when I joined. • Angular, MongoDB, Node.js, TypeScript, Vue.js, Ionic

A web development business concept website with a modern design to attract new clients. I used AI image generation to assist with the design. • Next.js, Node, React, Midjourney

My goal was to create a simple online store of my own to avoid Shopify fees. This is built to be reusable. It can easily be added to any other react or NextJs application. All product images are AI generated. Just add Stripe. . • Next.js, Node, React, TypeScript, MidJourney

Originally designed for NextCentury, this app neatly displays a large list of meters from a plethora of manufacturers. Users can quickly determine which NextCentury product is compatible with their meter and view a unique wiring diagram. Meters are easily found using the utility filter or search bar. Internal users can add public or private notes to each meter model. Responsive to many screen sizes. • Angular, MongoDB, Node.js, TypeScript

This is a dedicated website for easily adding or modifying meter models and manufacturers listed on the Meter Wiring Guide (listed above). The app bundles CRUD operations into a slick, easy to use user interface. Responsive to many screen sizes. • Angular, MongoDB, Node.js, TypeScript

Ted Counter stands out from other nutrition counting apps due to its simplicity and its ability to fit a user's specific nutritional interests.

In "House Mouse", a game originally created for VR, the player takes the role of a mouse. The game features many detailed objects, animations, and hidden places to explore. The game could be found on early VR gaming websites and had a short article written about it. The game still needs some work, but is playable now right here on your browser. Use arrow keys (or W,A,S,D) to move, mouse to steer, and shift to run. • Unity, C#, Sketchup, OnShape

I designed, 3D modeled, and helped build this large 16 x 11 foot product wall. The wall operates as a central product display for the office and has been an essential tool for testing new products during the production lifecycle. It features an automated airflow system, heavy articulating panels, integrated display, illuminated color-changing logo, and a patch panel for testing signal propagation distances. I researched and purchased tools and materials for the build and referenced the 3D model for precise measurements during construction. • Sketchup

Created for the testing team, this housing is a slim version of the original. The PCB, having been repurposed from another product, could easily be stripped down to fit into a small housing. I made several of these for our testing and development teams. They can be found in various tool boxes around the office. • OnShape

A colleague created a Pulse Generator for testing products during the development cycle. The device is fantastic, but could be cumbersome to use due to the shape of the PCB, the position of the motor, and the exposed contacts that would sometimes short on metal surfaces. I created a housing for the motor PCB and the display/controller PCB to make for a more user-friendly experience. The circuit boards fit perfectly and the housings simply snap together. • OnShape

Using my iPhone's front-facing camera, I was able to scan my head, clean up the model, and then print it on a 3D printer. This seems to be a more common thing to do now-a-days, but I did it before it was more main-stream and still cool. A coworker and I later used this model to create a clay impression and mold a silicon model. Fun times.

Being a big fan of Stan Winston studios' work and theme park attractions, I have had a love for animatronics for a long time. I just think they're so cool. This is my first attempt at an animatronic Compy dinosaur. My plan was to use servo motors, bowden cable, and bowden tube to articulate the tail, legs, and head. I would then 3D Print a negative of the shell and mold a foam latex skin. It became clear that the small servos were not strong enough. • OnShape

This is a quick and dirty cable-driven (FireLine) hand, based on Richard Landon's design from Stand Winston Studios. The wires could be connected to servos or a hand operated pulley control system. Click the card to watch a video. • OnShape

A simple housing I modeled and printed for the Cat Fan. (see project above) • OnShape

Having a mild fascination with the underwater world, I decided I wanted to attach my GoPro to my paddleboard anchor. I fashioned this mount for my camera and a dive light. I lowered the anchor 80 feet into the crystal-clear Bear Lake of northern Utah. This is the first iteration of the design which I found placed too much vertical stress on the anchor rope. • OnShape

The second iteration of the design faired much better. Distributing the weight of the camera and dive light more evenly across the anchor rope allowed for a more secure and more predictable camera angle. These underwater explorations eventually lead me to earning an SSI open water scuba certification. • OnShape

Created for ROV underwater drone applications, specifically the QYSEA FIFISH. The claw uses a hair-trigger and rubber band to grab items without the need for motors. It is designed to release if the drone becomes stuck. • OnShape

I was asked to create a personified toy model of a NextCentury product with a hidden door. This was used for a large work celebration. • OnShape

My razor didn't offer the guard size I needed, so I decided to make my own. It fits perfectly on the razor with a "snap". • OnShape

One of my most used creations, this screwdriver makes it easy to open NextCentury's line of waterproof products. Many copies of these are floating around the office and in our remote manufacturing facility. • OnShape

I developed hundreds of hardware and software testing procedures and authored dozens of wikis and starter guides. I used a wide range of advanced tools including accelerated UV chamber, plasma wand, temperature chamber, Keithley multimeter, weather chamber, Saleae logic analyzer, RF chamber, RF scanner and vacuum chamber. I tested products through the development lifecycle, ensuring no bugs or defects made it to mass production. Products were not released without my go-ahead.

I was first hired on to NextCentury as a technical support member. I helped customers troubleshoot advanced technical issues with products and integration. I assisted via phone and on site, traveling around the United States and Canada.

Rex is a 100 pound, invertible, chain-driven, BattleBots-inspired remote controlled 'robot' capable of hauling hundreds of pounds. Rex is powered by two 24v motors, two sealed 12v batteries, and utilizes a Sabertooth 2X25 V2 speed controller. Rex was designed through trial and error with parts sourced from the local junkyard, hardware stores, and pawn shops.

Using an Arduino Nano, accelerometer, a servo, and a 3.7v LiPo, I can unlock my door by knocking a specific combination. When a potential door-knock is received, the Arduino first distinguishes between noise and an intentional knock, stores the knocks in an array, then compares the array to a predetermined knock pattern. To preserve battery, a transistor is used to cut power from the Servo when idle.

I love animals as much as the next guy, but this cat (we’ll call her Butt Head) loves to knock over my plants, spill water on my desk, and leave behind breadcrumbs of clingy fur. Introducing the Cat Fan™. Using an Arduino nano, a motion sensor, 5v motor, mosfet, some 3D modeling and a 3D printer, the Cat Fan™ turns on when Motion is detected nearby, scaring the cat away! This system is 100% effective 20% of the time.

A small business I ran while in college. With the original intent of catering to older generations and their computer issues, Grandma's Computer Service offered general in-home computer services for a wide variety of clientele.

For two years, I diagnosed and repaired smartphone PCBs using thermal imaging camera, microscope, hot air rework station, and soldering iron. I kept detailed records of all repairs. Note: Image is from PTS promotional video.

For one year, I diagnosed and repaired Lexmark laserjet printers. I kept detailed records of all repairs. Note: Image is from PTS promotional video.

I have always loved taking things apart to see how they tick. From the age of 10 I was pulling apart old portable televisions, radios, phones, everything. This curiosity continues today. I do a little bit of everything, from general car repair to electronics repair and 'handyman' tasks. Largely stemming from my eagerness to learn and grow, I pride myself in being able to figure out just about anything.

I received recognition for my video production business work "Interesting Ted Videography LLC" and my YouTube channel of the same name, receiving 2.2 Million views and counting. Much of my work was inspired by director Devin Graham, who I later was fortunate enough to work with. • Adobe Premiere Pro

My work was played on national television as part of a TV series called "Objectified". This episode featured Mark Cuban.

Through the Student Conservation Association and AmeriCorps, I worked as a Video Producer and Surveyor at the Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon.

I was hired by the Limestone Post to produce videos of local nature preserves, creators, and neighborhoods. • Adobe Premiere Pro

I was hired by engineer Matt Cupal to create a Kickstarter advert for his innovative adjustable belay glasses. • Adobe Premiere Pro

I created a promotional video for Matthew Stong's bread company. During this shoot I ate lots of bread. • Adobe Premiere Pro

I was hired to produce this Kickstarter advert for Doggie Dinners locally sourced organic dog food. • Adobe Premiere Pro

The director Devin Graham has been an idle of mine for many years. I was fortunate enough to work directly with Devin for a full day of shooting. I was featured in one of his latest videos.

I was an extra in the season finale of the Emmy nominated mocumentary series "Documentary Now!" This episode featured Michael C. Hall, Bobby Moynihan, Helen Mirren, and Kevin Dunn. Directed by Alexander Buono.

Due to my strong interest in all things film, I have joined several acting and improv groups. I have been fortunate enough to befriend some amazingly talented film actors, voice actors, stage actors, and foam latex/puppet/prop makers.
