SOFTWARE + ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
With a B.A.Sc in Electrical Engineering (UBC), I now have 5+ years experience developing firmware in C/C++. I’ve also worked as a beekeeper, carpenter, and off-grid systems maintenance manager.
With a focus on embedded systems development, I’m currently exploring new opportunities in Victoria, BC. If you’re developing technology with a team of great people, I’d like to hear from you.
