Welcome!

Hey! I'm Rich. I'm a software engineer, hacker, and creative with a passion for startups and for developing useful apps.

The content on this blog varies widely depending on what I'm working on at the moment... from reverse engineering, to 3D printing, to computer security, and electronics, and more!

To see some of the projects I'm working on, see my projects page. I also publish 3D printing designs which you can download and print.
