About Me
I'm passionate about making a difference by building and fixing things. My specialty is backend and embedded software engineering, but my experience also includes other engineering disciplines like DSP and antenna design.
My greatest enjoyment comes from working in that area where software meets hardware, writing optimized code that's blazingly fast and rock-solid.
When I'm not at the computer or tinkering at the breadboard, you can often find me playing piano, reading, or watching Seinfeld for the 87th time.
