Speaker - Vik Olliver

Vik is an ageing longhair coder/hacker/maker and core developer of The RepRap 3D Printer Project, currently running the Masterton Fab Lab Makerspace in Masterton, New Zealand. He's ridden the computing wave since the 6502 CPU, and hasn't fallen off yet. Known mostly for his 3D printer work and inventing PLA filament, he also committed journalism back in the day. He has designed implantable heart monitors, satellites, life support systems, home computers, accessibility aids, kinetic penetrators, and phone phreakers. He gets bored easily.

In his spare time he messes up git commits, and turns dollars into decibels.
