01 · About

introduction

I'm an electronics engineer with interests in Circuit. IC. PCB design and power electronics. My work spans from schematic capture through component selection and bits of firmware

I thrive at building hardware solutions & systems where circuit blocks combine with logic to solve meaningful problems.

When I'm not soldering or debugging, you'll find me writing about electronics design, doing a hardware project and attending a conference or something.
