MadeBySloan is a custom manufacturing, shop in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. What started as two brothers making nerdy gadgets in the spare bedroom of their fourth floor condo has grown into a company that has shipped thousands of custom products all over the world. Today we specialize in motion control and lighting projects intended to catch the publics eye. From flame throwers to face mounted LED screens, we love to make the crazy ideas a reality.

David Sloan - Technology Master
When someone has an extremely technical problem that seems to have no solution, just ask David. He has his PhD in computer engineering but loves light up shiny objects as much as any basic nerd. David is the brain behind our custom LED driving software and is a master at making wildly diverse machines and technologies talk nicely to each other.
