Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Whong is an engineer-founder with 14 years of hands-on experience designing low-noise, low-power embedded systems and electromechanical products, blending circuit design, PCB layout, and injection-mold-aware mechanical integration. He founded Mooshim Engineering and contributes to Geocene while bringing robotics experience from Boston Dynamics and a history of co-founding hardware projects like Project Hexapod. Comfortable across firmware (MSP430, STM32, TI CC25xx, ATTiny), mobile (Android/iOS), and backend tools, he codes in C/C++, Python and Java and has improved open-source Android tooling with performance and robustness fixes. Equally adept at design and shop-floor work, he assembles SMDs, reworks boards, and does basic machining and woodworking—skills that accelerate prototyping and reduce iteration time. His background at DEKA and internships in software and robotics underpin a pragmatic, product-focused approach to complex electromechanical systems.
