Hey. Iām Mike
Iām coming along to hang out with interesting people and get better / start doing more digifab stuff. I like building stuff, especially out of rubbish.
I have a PhD / work in Bioinformatics and Iām currently based out of home working for a Biotech startup in Sydney. Iāll be coming into the space on some weekdays so I up my weekly number of human interactions. Iām also hoping that some 3D printing / laser cutting knowledge will osmosis itself into my head 
I like being part of communities and I like contributing towards to making them run nicely. The most work I currently do in this space is with HealthHack where Iām one of the long time core organisers.
Looking forward to meeting yāall soon.
The plan has worked! They think weāre humanā¦oopsā¦shouldnāt have typed that out loudā¦
My plan has worked. The Robots posing as Humans have accepted me.
Hi all! Iām Rory. And, after a good 6 years or so of occasionally coming for a few weeks, and then buggering off for another two years, I figure Iāll start coming regularly, and actually join; so, here I am! And I couldnāt be happier to be here - seriously. Hackerspace is just plain awesome and I canāt wait to be further involved.
Now, onto the four questions.
Interests: A lot! Mainly electronics, computer networking, photography, metalworking, machining, and automotive.
Looking to learn: Many things! I know precisely nothing about machining, 3D printing, software development, and very little about electronics. All of these are things I really want to learn, and learn as much as I can about them!
Studying/Working: Neither, unfortunately. I am about to try doing Uber Eats, and move close to/in to the city, from Caboolture, as this will make future study and work much easier!
Qualifications: Nowhere near enough. The most recent thing I studied was about 90% or so, of a Networking diploma at Southbank Institute of Technology (TAFE), in 2014. Iām looking to study the above, and my goal is to one day become an engineer. In what? I honestly donāt know, yet!
Thanks for indulging my waffling on, itās great to be here, and I canāt wait to contribute what I can to the space.
Cheers, all!
-Rory
