Hi, my name is:

Kana

I build artsy robots.

I am a software engineer with a strong interest in the intersection of technology and art, so I builds robots out of scrap and electronics.

About Me

Craftsman by day, software developer by night.

I have a passion for building and creating functional things. I am a tinkerer and I love to take things apart and put them back together, often not the way they were meant to.

I work with
  • steel
  • brass
  • copper
  • aluminium
  • PLA
  • wood
  • glass
  • textile
  • organic materials
  • electronics
  • lots of LEDs
