I have been working in the IT industry for many years, specializing in geographic information systems for the last decade.

I have significant experience in “maker” technologies such as 3d printing, CNC, electronics and programming microcontrollers. The ability to 3d design and print allows me to shape the world to my desire, and I wonder what synthetic biology will add to that.

I have an interest in body customization and self expression via piercings, tattoos, rfid implants, and hair dye, all of which provide different levels of permanence. What could synthetic biology allow people to do to make themselves unique or enhanced?

I am eager to explore the latest advancements in synthetic biology and its applications.

Let's embark on this exciting journey!
