I started coding because I was always fascinated by computers and how they worked. However as I got more involved, I found that programming is one of the only forms of engineering where you get to see the immediate results of your work which only motivated me to code larger and more complex things. That and when you code you feel like you are the god of your own universe, since an object can be whatever you want it to be. 

I am currently working on leading my team to produce the first enterprise version of our software at VirtualU. It is incredibly challenging and fun to build a complex system that demands incredible reliability. 

Over the next 10 years, I see the industry for 3D scanning and 3D printing growing vastly. The core technology is now cheap enough and accessible enough that many new companies and industries will pop up utilizing these advancements.
