I've always loved taking things apart and seeing how they work.
When I was 12, I built my first project- a flashlight from a recycled check box and a non-rechargable coin cell battery. Naturally I attemped to charge the cell...
After I discovered that YouTube contains the sum total knowledge of the world, I embarked on a quest to teach myself electronics.
I got my first Amateur Radio License when I was 15, and upgraded to the highest class, Amateur Extra, shortly thereafter.
I worked for four years, all throughout High School doing marine electronics repair and eventually got offered to persue my passion of electrical engineering at Georgia Tech.
That's where I am now, and I couldn't be happier!
