I just wanted to introduce myself if I didn't meet any of you last Wednesday. I studied Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. I am now a Software Engineer at Northwestern University. I work in the Academic Research department. I write software in a lot of different languages depending on the request (Java, PHP, Python [YAY], JavaScript etc.) In my free time I always love making things. I really enjoy woodworking and I built a 24"x24" CNC Router in my attic. It is based on this design. I will be moving and disguising it as a kitchen cabinet at our new place which will require reconfiguring the size to something like 20"x40". That is why I picked this model, it's 3D printed, very versatile and costs next to nothing to resize. Here is a handy picture:

I also really enjoy microcontrollers. I as many enthusiasts started on the PIC18F. Powerhouse of a thing. I played around with Arduinos and then started using MSP430s. Now I have been playing with the ESP8266. Fantastic little thing with built in WiFi. I made these little power strip things with it that I use for home automation:
