Why do I have a website?
I have found that many of the things I do (and many of my learnings!) come outside of the office or classroom.
Social Media’s aren’t really my thing, so I decided to build out a website highlighting the variety of activities that I have been involved with. This site is a place for me to build out my portfolio, keep track of my skills, and provide others a glimpse into the life of Tim Bouraoui.
I intend on building pages outlining my goals, life principles, and strengths & weaknesses. I have found that posting these things in an outward-facing manner helps keep myself more aware and honest about who I am and where I’m going.
What Have I been doing with my life?
Building My Skillset
From DU-based startups to E3D out in the UK to personal projects, I am always looking to get my hands dirty and build something new. Have a look through the various Projects and Experience pages at the top to see what I’ve been up to.
Mentoring Robotics Teams
Missing my high school robotics team, I volunteered at the FRC Colorado Regional for FIRST Robotics for my first two years of college. One weekend per year wasn’t enough, so I found a great team to join just down the road from DU. When I’m not learning new skills myself, I LOVE helping others improve theirs. Funny enough, I find myself learning just as much from this group of girls as they learn from me.
Consulting and Design Work
After helping launch DU’s microFactory, I have been doing lots of design and fabrication work across a number of mediums and purposes. I absolutely loved working with people to bring ideas to life. Please contact me if you have any ideas of things that we can build together!
Exploring the World!
Over the last few years, I’ve had some incredible opportunities to get out and see how the rest of the world works. Of course, there’s been a little bit of fun mixed in, but that’s the best way to learn about new people and cultures! Check out the Travels tab to see where I’ve been!
