Hello!
My name is Henry Waill.
I like to make things that help people.
Some of my work
Here are a few of the projects that I'm most proud of. Most started as a problem I wanted to solve or a skill I wanted to hone, and they run the gamut from design to engineering, and from hardware to software; There's even some weaving-related content! (Pretty much just various rectangles if that's your scene.)
Come take a look!

About Me
I hate writing these types of things.
I think I'm a really likable guy! On the rare occasion, I've even been told I'm funny and intelligent... but you will learn none of that from the following paragraphs.
I'm an engineer and designer with a B.S. degree in Creative Technology and Design. I enjoy solving problems through programming, electronics, physical fabrication, web development and graphic design, among many other avenues. I love learning and creating, both for their own sakes and for the sake of helping to solve all sorts of problems.
More recently, I've been working to implement AI workflows both for individuals and organizations. Artificial Intelligence capabilities are rapidly expanding, but adoption is lagging behind. I'm fascinated by the opportunities to securely improve efficiency, consistency and creativity in complex tasks.
I also enjoy playing piano, weaving, hiking with my dog, rock climbing and doing crosswords and other puzzles.
