Hi, I’m Shaun Gilliam
About Me
My name is Shaun, and I’m a maker. Whether it’s a mechanical widget or a piece of software, I’m happy as long as I get to build something that helps solve a problem.
In 2017 I started my own company (Gecko Labs) in Madison, WI to work on prototyping products for transportation, energy and robotics.
As an engineer I’ve been lucky enough to work on a wide variety of projects. By starting my own small company, I’m able to share a few of these projects here with you.
