I build products, systems, and new ways of seeing.

Kendall works across physical products, software, engineering, and health intelligence—finding the architecture beneath the surface and building from there.

Selected experience

Selected directions

Different fields.
The same instinct.

I have always learned by taking systems apart, understanding their underlying logic, and rebuilding them into something more useful.

OFFSET INVENTIONS

Invent beyond the expected.

Offset turns ambiguous physical-product ideas into distinctive, manufacturable products. I lead every engagement from the first direction through prototype, technical coordination, and manufacturer handoff.

Founder · Current venture

UNLEARN HEALTH

A health system that learns through living.

Unlearn Health connects lived experience, environmental context, behavior, and biological outcomes across one evolving model of the individual.

  1. Observe
  2. Understand
  3. Act
  4. Learn
  5. Refine

What a person observes becomes context. That context shapes the next action. The result becomes new evidence, continuously improving what the system understands and recommends next.

The through-line

I have always understood things by taking them apart.

The subject has changed—from game architecture, to physical products, to biology—but the underlying process has remained remarkably consistent.

  1. 01

    Reverse engineering

    At 14, I taught myself Visual Basic and C# to reverse-engineer my Xbox and modify games such as Halo 3 beyond their intended limits. I created tools for the wider gaming community and shared the experiments during YouTube’s early years, where the work accumulated millions of views.

  2. 02

    From software to objects

    That curiosity led me toward mechanical engineering and then industrial design. I wanted to shape not only how products were engineered, but how their hardware, software, interfaces, and physical experiences worked together.

  3. 03

    Designing across disciplines

    After graduating at the top of my class, I worked with startups, consultancies, and established companies, including Oculus, Meta, and Whipsaw, with broader project experience involving Tesla, Honeywell, Moen, and Cuisinart.

  4. 04

    Building connected systems

    Today, I run Offset Inventions while building Unlearn Health. The work brings together invention, product design, software, systems thinking, and years of independent study at the intersection of biology and physics.

A persistent method

The method has stayed the same.

  1. 01Question the given
  2. 02Trace the hidden logic
  3. 03See what should exist
  4. 04Make it tangible
  5. 05Refine what survives

Whether the subject is a physical product, a software experience, or a health system, I look past inherited answers, find the architecture beneath the surface, and build toward what the system should become.

Contact

Build something that needs a wider view.

I am open to selected product collaborations, strategic conversations, and connections around Unlearn Health.
