Shane Painter is an avid technologist, thriving on all things - micro to macro - that are unusual and clever, artful and constructive, or needing finishing touches to go from sub-optimal to complete and elegant. He views challenges not as work or something to be avoided, but rather as steps on the path to enlightenment that are welcomed and overcome.

Experimental in nature, Shane seeks to understand the inner workings of things, improve upon them and apply them in new ways. While he makes a living in the Information Technology jungle, Shane's interests span vast realms from Arduino and Aquaponics to Quantum Physics and Zymurgy. Naturally an outdoorsman, he strives to maintain balance between the technical and natural worlds, tending to combine the two whenever possible.
