Welcome
RSS FeedI used to be an independent consultant. As a design engineer, company names in my field always seem so bland and uninteresting; I wanted my LLC to sound creative, off the wall even. A friend and I came up with Ironic Mango Designs. Surprisingly, I managed to find work as an engineer. I don't do much consulting these days, but this site now serves as an outlet to share my off-the-job endeavors. Mostly small in scale compared to commercial work, but hopefully still fun and potentially even valuable, if you find yourself engaged in similar endeavors.
