Home Labs and Open Circuits: How Tinkering Keeps My Passion for Engineering Alive
The Power of Personal Projects I’ve spent the better part of my career designing and refining complex systems—power grids, embedded firmware, control architectures, and everything in between. The stakes are high, the teams are large, and the deliverables are tightly scheduled. I love this work. But over the years, I’ve learned something important: if I […]
Bridging the Gap: Why Today’s Engineers Must Speak Both Hardware and Software

Another writes the code: drivers, algorithms, user interfaces. Too often, they work separately, tossing deliverables over the wall and hoping everything clicks. But in the […]
