My Story

Since the moment I could remember, I've always been fascinated by electronics and circuits.

When I was ten years old I got a snap circuit set with a picaxe microcontroller. It's capabilities intrigued me leading me into the world of microcontrollers and Arduinos.

I found an interest in driving LCD displays and writing optimized code to drive them faster. I learned about other kinds of microcontrollers with more capabilities and hardware peripherals. I began building my own boards around these chips for more customized functionality introducing me to the world of hardware design and debugging.

My fascination in the areas of hardware and firmware design has led me to pursue a degree at BYU-Idaho in the field of Electrical Engineering.
