Robotic Solutions
I build intelligent robotic and automation systems that streamline workflows and modernise legacy equipment for factories and small businesses.

I’m Jordan Destafino — a founder and student who cut his teeth on neurobiology and electrical engineering. Today I build custom robotics and automation systems for factories and small businesses while still chasing the wild dream of talking dogs. Alongside the serious tech, you’ll find me creating slightly-whimsical robotics and technical projects that fund the journey.
About Jordan
I grew up in North Carolina and attended High Point University for four years. My studies in neuroscience, microcontrollers and machine learning set the foundation for Stone Technologies, a holdings company where I develop technologies that support my long‑term goal of canine communication.
These days my focus is on designing intelligent robotic and automation solutions for small businesses and factories, exploring materials engineering and synthetic biology as a post-bac in grad school, and teaching my dogs to play Uno. I’m still a student, eager to learn from anyone who can show me a better way.

From robotics to practical chemistry, here’s how I spend my time.
Open Experiments
Projects like teaching my dogs to play Uno and inventing an instant casting material show how curiosity and fun drive real innovation. Most of my designs are open‑source.

What I’ve been up to recently.
Spring 2025: Brain Scanner Shelved
After almost a year of development, I decided to pause the brain scanner project in January 2025. The experience sharpened my engineering chops and inspired new directions — but for now it’s on the shelf while I focus on robotics and systems.
Summer 2025: Robotics & Uno for Dogs
I’ve been busy designing automation systems for local businesses and teaching my dogs the rules of Uno (with help from a custom card reader). Stay tuned as I develop more quirky prototypes and prepare to launch some merch.
Shop Prep: Merch Drops
Lining up designs, suppliers, and logistics for the Stone Store launch. Expect limited-run tees and maker gear that supports R&D.
Factory Retrofit: Vision Pick-and-Place
Prototyping a compact robot cell with a lightweight vision stack to modernize a legacy line. Early results look promising.
