Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Guild is an owner-founder and hardware-focused embedded engineer with 11 years of experience building electronic music devices that blend C++ RTOS firmware, KiCad PCB design, and React web GUIs. Based in Somerville, MA, he founded Circuit Happy to create networked clock-sync tools for live musicians, shepherding products from prototyping through manufacturing while wearing the hats of developer, designer, marketer, and product manager. His background spans print publishing automation, scripting for InDesign, and QA at iZotope where he prototyped UX ideas and championed high-quality documentation—skills that inform his pragmatic product-first approach. A former VJ and musician who learned audio development in Max, he brings rare domain empathy for musical workflows to technical decisions. He’s transitioned from solo engineering into selective contracting to scale architecture work, enabling him to focus on features and faster product releases.
