My Goals
I want to work in a place where I can not only use my existing engineering and software design skills to create new and exciting products, but where I will also encounter challenges and develop new abilities. I enjoy problem solving, learn new things quickly, and am at my best when I have a full plate of interesting, non-trivial projects. In my ideal job, I would be an inventor, coming up with new designs and bringing them into reality..
