This combination of disciplined systems engineering and playful public outreach gives him a rare ability to explain complex technical ideas to diverse audiences and rally teams around practical solutions. Based in Fox River Grove, IL, he pairs embedded systems expertise with a knack for automation and process improvement across the stack.
