Will Rule
Creative Technologist

Designer-developer who takes ideas from concept to working product — iOS apps, interactive installations, and the hardware they run on. I own the whole pipeline: interface design, native code, computer vision, electronics, and fabrication.

Selected Work

Dialed Golf 2026 · iOS App · In development Founder · Design & Development

AI-powered green-reading tool: films a real putt with the phone camera and a custom folding stand, translating roll behavior into a personalized read on green speed and pace. Designed the brand and interface, trained the computer-vision ball-tracking model, and engineered the 3D-printed stand that packs flat into a golf bag.

Breadcrumbs 2024 · Physical Computing Design, Fabrication & Development

A framed, 3D-printed map of State College, PA with an embedded LED grid that traces my movement through town in real time. Built the modular tile map, soldered the LED matrix, wrote the ESP32 firmware, and developed the companion iOS app that syncs live location to the board.
