When I was young I always wanted to be an Inventor. This has lead to a deep fascination with electronics and automation. The ability to collect information and control processes and produce an outcome with as little oversight as possible is something I find rewarding. I have found a hidden art in good design, when a system becomes simple and transparent, where they no longer detect its presence or interaction, then it has been successful.Working as a team and collaborating with the community is integral to my work process. Working independently and in isolation on projects in the past, I've found that a team is integral if you want to deliver a robust solution and learning new methodologies. I take great pride in sharing what I have learnt with the greater electronics and engineering communities by hosting workshops and presentations.
