Evan Laske

“For work, I’m a Robotics Engineer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. I’ve been there for over 10 years now, and it all started when I was in college. I am lucky enough to have turned my hobby into a job, so I truly never work a day in my life. In addition to my work at NASA, I try to involve myself in engineering work in my off hours. That includes tinkering in the maker-space and open-source myself or working with startups as a consulting engineer.”
