Summary
Shane Alan is a hands-on maker and CNC fabricator with nine years of experience designing and building large-scale interactive installations that blend art, engineering, and digital interactivity. Based in San Francisco, he applies a wide technical toolkit—CNC routing, laser cutting, 3D printing, circuitry, CAD/CAM, and web app interfaces—to deliver immersive, client-driven projects and on-site installations. He has experience leading makerspaces and teaching maker skills to students and professionals, translating complex fabrication and programming concepts into practical training. Shane’s background includes program and shop management roles where he built training curricula and maintained high-capacity equipment, a skillset that supports reliable production at scale. Equally comfortable in the studio, classroom, and on install, he brings a rare mix of project management, mentorship, and cross-disciplinary technical fluency to creative fabrication work.
