Intro
I’m Collin — explorer, collector, and sharer of knowledge. Engineer by training, builder by spirit, and founder of YottaRock Industries. I make things that live.
By day, I’ve worked in power systems and automation. But my real work happens in the bursts between: designing decentralized protocols, building expressive tools, and sharing open knowledge for those who still believe in creation for its own sake.
I don’t hustle. I don’t do corporate soul death. I build deep systems, clean designs, and imagine without limits. Creation is my rest — and my resistance.
What I Do
I design and document open tech. I write about modern grief. I build tools to help people reclaim agency from the machine.
I’m currently building:
- Beeton – a wireless protocol for model trains using OpenThread mesh
- SimAntics – a program-your-own simulation game based on ant behavior
- Sox – a robotic cat companion inspired by the movie Lightyear
