Projects
David Nunez is a creative technologist, executing projects at the intersection of art, design, and technology.
He builds mobile apps, games, and interactive software using tools like iOS, Unity3D, Cinder, openFrameworks (oF), and Processing. His recent clients have included JK Rowling's Lumos organization, Candlewick Press, PBS, Electric Type and the Personal Robotics Group at the MIT Media Lab.
His project, Bytes and Bots at the Children's Museum of Houston, engages students to explore programming ideas through an animatronic lobster and bird. Previously, he designed the multitouch table used to play the Electric Gongs, a set of instruments for the Austin Children’s Museum. His robotic marionette, El Quemira, won multiple blue ribbons at the 2007 Austin Maker Faire.
He also co-curates dorkbot-boston, a monthly gathering of people doing strange things with electricity.
Previously, as a founding Trustee of the Awesome Foundation, he helped remarkable projects obtain seed funding and recognition.
