I have many interests, here are some of the main ones:

• Christmas light show using individually controlled pixel RGB LEDs. This is my 6th year of putting on a show for Christmas using synchronized lights to music. Currently my show has over 20,000 lights and 60,000 control channels. I also have my own YouTube channel called "The Christmas Light Guy" where I create tutorial videos to teach people about my hobby.
  
  
• Technology - particularily open source projects, both hardware and software based:
  • "ESP8266 MyWidget" on Hackaday.io and as open source project on Github.
    Learning tool or a template for starting a new ESP8266 project. It contains many of the components to build a ESP8266 project with dynamic web interface.
  • Wrote and developed a complete tutorial for Web Driver IO using the following technogies: mocha, should and selenium. The tutorial contains many example test scripts and a working web site to test the examples against. The tutorial is published on personal blog and on instructables web sites. The working test site is hosted on my own web site located here.
  • Developed several software projects using MEAN stack - MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node and testing using Karma, Jasmine, WebDriver and Selenium server.
  • Developed several projects using Arduino hardware and many different shields. Most of the projects are related to the lighting industry. I use the Arduino IDE for development.
