RepRap - 3D Printer Tuesday, 01 November 2011 23:39 Here's my journey of building a Reprap 3d Printer. Took about two weeks to get to the point where I was printing and I am still tweaking things to get good prints but it's working well enough to share :) Read the Full Story
Homemade Bandsaw Bearing Guides Tuesday, 23 August 2011 14:15 I wanted to upgrade my bandsaw with some bearing guides. Now my bandsaw is an old Craftsman model and I really wasn't looking to put a whole lot into it, heck I only paid $50 for it in the first place! So looking around I see that Carter makes some for like $170 - what!?! for some bearings? psshhhhh I'll make my own for like $20 :) Read the Full Story

Jul 04 2011

My name is Jamie Cunningham and I work as an I.T. Director for an electronics distributor in Florida. In addition to managing the entire organization’s technology infrastructure, I also write the code for the company’s internal applications and websites. In the beginning of my development career I used Borland Delphi, but in the past 5 years I have switched to writing web and windows apps in C# using Microsoft's .Net Framework.

Before forming Varitech in 2009, I worked in the computer industry as an on-site computer repair technician, a CAD/CAM operator in an engineering department, and as a software developer / web developer for several other companys. I was also enlisted in the Air Force and have many credit hours in Electronics Engineering. In every position I was called upon to perform duties far beyond my title's responsibilities, and this is what has given me the wide range of technology experience. For instance, at Saxotech, while working as a software developer, me and one other developer (Corky Garko) completed several corporate videos for the Saxotech User Conference. This involved filming employee interviews, video editing, and many 3D animation. See the videos HERE.

My personal interests revolve around computers in general, graphics, filmmaking, CNC machines, woodworking, metalworking, and I’m also a guitar player in a pop/rock band – Big Moon Rocket. Also please take a look at my Musical Biography.

My professional interests include software design, database design, website design, computer and networking hardware. I have owned my own software company as well as a consulting business for many years, but have given them up for the cushy desk job :) Although I still pull off a little “side work” here and there (just in case you need anything)

Thanks for checking out my site and subscribe to my feed so you can be up on the latest posts!
