Modern products branch through a variety of industries, each requiring a web of engineering disciplines. While in Texas A&M’s engineering program, I have worked towards developing that interdisciplinary understanding of engineering with a core focus towards hardware engineering, mixing electrical engineering and computer science, with a background in manufacturing. In the process, I have learned PCB design, embedded coding, and various manufacturing methods to bring a product to life.Several years ago, I realized that many hardware designers have one subset of skills. They can design a circuit in a simulation or they can manufacture it. I loved a combination of both, as it allowed me to build a product you could touch with a deep understanding of manufacturability and associated costs. This realization prompted me to start a business, consulting with companies to create their circuits and mechanical designs. I loved the hands-on experience, and sought to gain more through working for a venture capital company to design products for their member companies. Over the past few years, these experiences have taught me by trial the skills to turn any idea into a reality.
