About

Aspiring to enable the world with the right amount of technology, at the intersection of design and engineering

Some things:

* I work with my brain and think with my hands

* I like to build things: fast iteration prototyping, fabricating, mechatronics

* I like applying design thinking to solve multifaceted engineering problems

* I can hand-solder 402s without a microscope

* I have experience in schematic capture/PCB layout in quick iteration development situations

* I want more experience in mixed signal design and microcontrollers/embedded C
