Let's dive back into the saga of my over-engineered growth chart. If you recall from Part One, I definitively established my height as a solid 5'10". It turns out I could've been rounding up this whole time! The original chart was, let's be honest, a bit… bare bones. We needed to inject some Byte Sized Engineering bells & whistles. I want to add RGB LEDs, a receipt printer, and, most importantly, a camera to send those adorable growth updates to Grandma and Grandpa.

New videos are uploaded as soon as I finish them!

If you're like me you have creative ideas and sometimes they get trapped inside your mind. Here on Byte Sized Engineering I make project videos that get you excited about unleashing your inner maker and making those creative ideas a reality!

You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to take complex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.
