🎛 modular synth nerd 🪕 classically-trained bluegrass singer 🔬 published scientist (psychology) ☯️ alt-spirituality nerd / yogi adjacent 📷 abstract photographer 🤖 FIRST LEGO League world champ 🧑‍💻 freelance web developer 🏙 co-founder: Robot Academy (robotics e-learning), Bleeps and Loops (Seattle synth collabs) 🎓 B.S.M.B.A. —— 🖥 mvawter.com 👥 open to collaborations and conversations of all kinds - email me at [email protected] —— More backstory: I grew up in a somewhat conservative religious context, then escaped into a private liberal arts playground (Denison) to study psychology, was co-author on some vision science, never did a PhD but got an MBA instead and decided to double down on the robotics teaching company I co-founded in high school (which I later sold). My mental world is the intersection of psychology and spirituality, and my day-to-day is mostly building websites, recording music, and doom scrolling wikipedia. I may or may not have peaked in middle school thanks to my work with LEGO robotics; I was in Popular Science magazine, on TV with Bill Nye, inducted into the National Gallery for Young Inventors, and won 1st Place Robot Performance at the FIRST LEGO League World Festival in ’05 and ’06. I may have studied organizational psych, but everything I know about group dynamics and communication comes from running a clan on RuneScape, also in middle school. 🤓
