Welcome

Hi! I'm Vinnie and this is Makify, the website where I make and modify things.

This website is the companion site to my YouTube channel, Makify1. I created it so I could publish long-form articles that either don't translate well to video or that I wrote before I started my YouTube channel and as a place to store the plans and templates for my projects.

About Me

I am trained as an ichthylogist (a.k.a, fish biologist) with a B.S. in Biology from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, an M.S. in Biology from John Carroll University, and a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. For my day job, I am the Director of Research and Development for Carp Solutions, an enviromental management company that specializes in fish management, especially common carp management. I wear many hats in that role including developing new technologies for fish management (i.e., engineering) and data analysis.

I've always enjoyed making things and educating others so I started this site and my YouTube channel to show off some of my projects and to help other people make similar things.

I hope you enjoy my content!
