Software and hardware engineering, rapid prototyping, fabrication and construction.

Portfolio of the multi-disciplinary inventor, maker, and hacker known as Val Gliozzi. Experience includes designing, programming, and building the creative and technical projects you'd find on TV, posted in a DIY forum or in the latest IoT devices.

In my free time, I've:

• Retrofitted a 35-foot school bus through engine modification, braking system overhaul, mapping and repairing existing electrical systems, installing solar and new electrical systems, installing plumbing, and designing and building the interior into a comfortable living space
• Circuit bent tape decks and modified housings as part of the creation of an orchestra of magnetism-based “instruments”
• Built an arcade cabinet out of e-waste and reclaimed materials
• Rebuilt a trashed CO2 laser cutter, implementing multiple improvements and missing safety features
• Selected components and assembled countless custom bicycles including cutting/threading spokes and building wheels on vintage restores through new modern builds
