Welcome to Tech Explorations Podcast episode 6, part 3.

The full video for this interview is available, please check it out.

In the previous part of episode 6, Zafar and I discussed his implementation of the Turing Machine based on an Arduino. This is one of Zaf’s most unusual gadgets. We also got into prime numbers, Zaf’s plans for the future and future projects, and, towards the end, Zafar reveals his maker superpower.

In this third and last part of his interview, Zaf and I discuss how he documents his work, his website, his code on Github, how he got to be in the list of the top-50 European Makers for 2016, and his experiences from participating in multiple Maker Faires.
