Summary
Russell Hensel is a retired teacher and software engineer based in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, who blends decades of programming experience—dating back to Fortran in 1963—with hands-on hobbyist engineering using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Python, and 3D printing. With 11 years of formal industry experience and a long tenure at At Home, he pairs practical software skills with deep roots in physics from Princeton and management training from MIT Sloan. He still teaches in spirit, maintaining a strong interest in physics and mentoring through projects and repository readmes that caution some material may not be production-ready. Russell enjoys applying technical problem-solving to everyday life, whether designing electronics, tending his garden, or wielding a chainsaw for outdoor projects. His profile signals a pragmatic maker who values careful documentation and lifelong learning over polished open-source celebrity.
