Hi! I'm Hudson Tinch — a business student and part-time engineer who loves building cool things. I mix strategy with hands-on problem solving, then turn ideas into projects that actually ship.
As captain of the HP robotics team, I combined hands-on building with advanced technology, leading my team through challenging competitions and innovative engineering projects.
I have a deep enthusiasm for creating physical objects — particularly through 3D printing. From intricate prototypes to functional components, I thrive on transforming digital concepts into real-world objects.
