Brief Introduction: 

I am an electronics developer with over ten years of experience. My strongest skills are schematic and PCB design, but I have also been involved in prototyping, microcontroller programming, testing, and creating mechanical solutions. I am looking for exciting and non-routine work where I can best apply my skills to create something new and contribute to society.

Hobbies:

I engage quite a lot in hobby electronics and home automation. I occasionally read fiction, although lately more audiobooks, as I can listen while working out or driving. I used to enjoy dance classes and parties but haven't had the chance recently. Occasionally, I play computer games when the family is not at home.
