Projects
I like to make things. Some of the projects below were for school or work, but I chose to make them because they were fun and challenging. Go build something!
Our 2007 senior design project at the University of Michigan to build a pitch-shifting device for electric guitars. For contemporary work in this area see Guitar Pitch Shifter or Alan Pagliere's work on lap steel guitar tunings.
