Hey There!

I’m Ben, a high school student from Portland, Oregon.

I love designing and building anything I can dream up, exploring the outdoors, and taking pictures.

 I love getting my hands dirty, it’s how I learn

Here’s some of my recent work

Astrophotography Camera Mount

Instead of buying an expensive camera mount for taking long exposure pictures of the night sky, I decided to create my own camera mount with an Arduino and a stepper motor so I could improve my astrophotography skills.

Useless Box

My second project from mechatronics, making a “useless box” that turns itself off and has a bit of a personality.

Homemade Metal Foundry

Over the past few years I have been developing my skills with metal casting. Part of that project was building my own home foundry from scratch, which has evolved into a multi-year project I have been continuously working on.

 Our World is an Amazing Place

And I love to capture it
