I love to design and build things. I love to explore new ideas and help other people do the same. I'm passionate about Software Engineering because it allows me to work in a medium that is ever changing, yet never grows old. I love that I can create incredibly complex things with code that appear like simple machines to the casual observer. There's nothing I find more satisfying than seeing my robot move for the first time, even if it failed uncountably many times before.I love it when a software/hardware design comes together. I love the process of creating that design as well. A good design is its own reward, and it is made all the more satisfying when it's accomplished in spite of the challenges provided by its hardware platform. Knowing the constraints of a hardware platform provides not just a challenge though; it also gives me the information necessary to optimize my design so it is as fast and efficient as possible. I will always be a tinkerer. I'm passionate about my craft, and something that I dedicate my life to excelling in. In every project I've worked on I'm always the first to arrive and the last out the door.
