From AR/VR technologies to drones to 3D printing, Thomas totally immerses himself into new ideas. He describes his process as going from inspiration, to research, to applying the technology in a project, to really understanding it.
Recently, Thomas built a 3D printer from scratch using open-source designs. It took him over 150 hours of tinkering and he now hopes to use it to sell 3D prints online.
Thomas first took an interest in 3D printing when he learned about it in Middle School at PC. He has also learned coding through the computer science program that taught him Python, HTML, css and finally C#.
His newest initiative is a drone-surveying business using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to provide survey data. Thomas plans to explore as many different technologies as he can while he has the time and freedom to experiment.
In the future, he hopes to pursue aerospace engineering and potentially have his own business.
