Connected as Michael Woods (655 friends)
Evan Murphy and Michael Woods have been building awesome things together since they met at Caltech as undergrads. Together, they've built enigma machines, pirate ships, and never-ending waterfalls. They've gone on to professional careers in systems programming and R&D, and recently moved to Silicon Valley to pursue software startups.
For the Skallops project, they're joined by Marshall Grinstead (http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/mstead), a mutual friend and mechanical engineer extraordinaire from their undergrad days at Caltech.
Sometimes they use their powers for good, never for evil, and always for awesome.
