Hi I’m Chaka I like to break things and make them better. I am an Inventor, Maker, & Home-brewer. I have a passion for helping others through technology. In the early 80’s I started taking things apart, and figuring out how they work. My primary focus is Assistive technologies, for individuals with physical disabilities. I have Bachelor of Science – BS focused in Anthropology from Adelphi University.

for over 20 years I worked in the Telecommunications field. First as a Telecom Analyst , then as a Centrex administrator . In that time it was hard not to explore more of the industry, I setup my own VOIP system in my home, and also made a portable VoiP Briefcase solution. I called it a WIBIC (Wireless Broadband Internet Communicator).

8 years ago, I started brewing beer, and that then turned into another hobby of building brewing rigs. I’ve found that most Home-brewers are also makers.

In late 2017 I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma While fighting that battle and winning at it, I came up with several Ideas that would help people in my situation. The projects you’ll see in my Github are the results of those ideas.
