Building Community and Creating Technical Content to Enable Others
summary
Starts with a first project built in Flash Macromedia interactive CD form, then a university team ships a Gadget Loka energy-saver for Windows Vista gadgets that reduces PC power use and reaches Imagine Cup. Later work uses a donated Kinect and MRTK to prototype phone-based holograms, publishes step-by-step MRTK tutorials and streams troubleshooting live, earns Microsoft MVP status, runs workshops for students and HBCUs, and localizes docs (e.g., BabylonJS) so global learners can reproduce results.
