I'm a Senior Software Developer. I strive to be a polymathic person interested in a range of subjects which positions me as an Innovator, Problem Solver and Solution Designer.

I gained a broad set of experiences by programming since 1993 in different fields of engineering application. With a speciality in computer vision & CAD, I’m also the inventor of a US patent-pending algorithm in the field of Facility Management.

My current technology focus is on Cloud Computing, mobile computing and HPC. At home I do math, robotics and sculpting.

Dec 30	comment	How to speed up the 4x4 Crawler truck 9398? 'Crawler' is a good name then... :)
Dec 30	comment	How can I motorize City-scale wheels? In this case, an ATtiny13. I love working with this chip. I'm going to get some surface mounted ones to make even smaller projects.
Dec 23	comment	Exact dimensions of studless Technic beams +1 for mentioning the precision of the tool you used
Dec 22	comment	Exact dimensions of studless Technic beams What level of precision do you need?
Dec 21	comment	Is there a way to remotely operate the push-button light brick? Will all the lights be reachable by a mechanical path (i.e. through the hollow buildings) or will some lights be only reachable by a flexible wire (i.e. snaking a cable to them)?
Dec 21	comment	How much usage can a LEGO piece take before it loses its 'clutch power'? Good points but, for this one, I'm focussing on the mechanical wear instead of the ageing effects
Dec 21	comment	How much usage can a LEGO piece take before it loses its 'clutch power'? I have to say that, unless there was already data available, my plan was to build a robotic rig to test this.
Dec 20	comment	Why does LEGO sell minifigures randomly? I was also asking a theoretical question about this subject: bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1724/…

Dec 20	comment	Is there a way to build a stronger LEGO ball than what was done by the Mythbusters? I wish I had 500,000 bricks to test some theories
Dec 18	comment	Gunner bot programing @ewelina does this help in any way?
Dec 15	comment	How to start with technic? I support the idea of getting a big set first. Personally when I got back into LEGO Technic (for the purpose of using it with MindStorms) I got the 4x4 Off Roader (#8466, 1134 pieces)
Dec 15	comment	What is the brown ship in the Star Wars 2012 advent calendar? Welcome to the site. This answer does give a lot of information (The relatively short answer from McKay already refers to the same vehicle with more details and links). If this is your first time on a StackExchange site I invite you to read the FAQ (link at the top right). This will show you how you can ask and answer questions.
Dec 10	comment	Gunner bot programing Are you setup to use NQC?
Dec 10	comment	How can I efficiently pick up bricks off the floor? The question is not about the merits of playing on the floor but about what to do to pick up pieces once they're on the floor. On the other hand, I also prefer to build on the table so I don't lose pieces.
Dec 8	comment	Fix for monorail sticking at monoswitch? @jncraton There you go. Hopefully the epoxy will do the trick. Let us know how it turns out.
Dec 8	comment	Fix for monorail sticking at monoswitch? Good. How about the switch faces? Are they worn? Is there a groove?
Dec 7	comment	Will playing with motor by hand damage it? The trains motors have Nylon gears too. I'll edit the answer.
Dec 7	comment	What's the exact opacity and translucency of transparent bricks? @jakob Any more info you could give us? If you answer the questions from Ambo100 and I we could move forward with this question.
Dec 7	comment	NXT software V2.1 runtime installation error in windows It sounds like you have the wrong NXT release. Where did you get that v2.1? Can you give the link?
