Owaeis N.

Founder & CEO

Owaeis's best hobby in primary school was to play with little electric motors of scraped taperecorders; he thought creating a fan out of them was so cool. A little computer made out of styrofoam and a modded gameboy was his first invention at the age of 12, followed by a kid-sized styrofoam robot that rotated his head and arms and walked on the floor courtesy of a half dozen taperecorder motors. He has since wanted to invent something but is not sure what.it.should.be, so he started reading and subsequently writing about technology.
