Colin wants to work at ShapeDiver!

Thanks for clicking through to my website. Here you can check out my CV and work samples, my plugin and Github, and my blog. I would also be happy to give references. I hope to talk with you soon!

Dartmouth University Presentation

A longer selection of slides from a talk I gave recently to a group of undergraduate students for the course Integrated Design: Engineering, Architecture, and Building Technology, taught by professor Jack Wilson. You won't get the content of my speech, but there are some good images in there of work I've done at Ennead.

Corvid Plugin

Corvid is a Grasshopper plugin I've just published that makes it easier to store string data in a Rhino document and access data about the Rhino version, user, and license. I'm afraid Corvid is not likely to ever be cleared by the ShapeDiver team (as it really is just about the Rhino document) but at least you can see what a stickler I am for accountability and record-keeping in computational design.

Code Complete Blog

I also write a blog about computer science in the context of computational design. At a conference in Berlin last year I asked McNeel developer Andy LeBihan what single resource he would recommend to a self-taught programmer, and he told me I needed to read Code Complete by Steve McConnell. As I read through this hefty book, I'm writing blog posts about each chapter, with the goal of creating an accessible guide for computational designers who are interested in learning more about computer science and programming.

Code Complete - CLSM

My journey through the second edition of “Code Complete” by Steve McConnell: a new chapter each week until the whole thing is done. This series is aimed at designers who are interested in learning about programming. It’s written to be the guide I wish I could have had when I started teaching myself to code.

Upcoming Conferences

Will you be at the Rhino User Meeting in Basel on 28.03 or Shape to Fabrication in London this April? I will be attending both conferences, including the AEC Tech hackathon at Foster+Partners, the McNeel Developer Day, and the Grasshopper 2 plugin development workshop with David Rutten. If you'll be there, I would love to meet up in person.
