The shore of I
I am a writer and engineer. I seek to master complexity through my principles of honesty, discipline and simplicity. To that end, I practice model-based systems engineering, software engineering, radio frequency design, and computer engineering with a focus on signal processing. I find beauty in my work and seek always to reach the next frontier of discovery and mastery of my interests.
