I got my start in the world of hobbyist electronics at the age of 9 when I built my first robot entirely by reading a schematic and soldering the discrete components together. From there, I gained an interest in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and all things IoT. What began in 2016 as a simple project post on Hackster.io has now grown to nearly 1.2 million project views in total and an additional million from the articles I write about industry news and projects from fellow creators. Professionally, I obtained a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Superior and an have extensive experience in full-stack web technologies such as .NET Core, Node.js, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, and much more.
