Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Szechy is a senior electrical engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing and ramping embedded systems, from Arduino-like prototypes to Apple silicon Mac hardware and AR/VR interaction research at Reality Labs. He combines circuit and PCB design, firmware and ISR development, and system-level validation—having led internal dev-kit builds, display backlight engineering, and early EE system work on multiple Mac generations. As the first hardware engineer at a seed-stage startup he handled everything from power controllers to wiring harnesses and sheetmetal, demonstrating rare full-stack hardware fluency. A University of Michigan-trained computer engineer and ex-Apple contributor now based in Redmond, he blends product-focused rapid prototyping with production-quality engineering for consumer and research platforms.
