Personal Projects & Interests
From a very early age, I found that I was inseparable from things mechanical. My hobbies and my drive for learning motivated me to build all sorts of unusual items.
My parents probably had a fair amout of influence on my interests. Much of my knowledge of electrical and electronic systems can be attributed to the influence of my father, an accomplished electrical engineer.
My artistic and creative influence mostly originated from my mother's side. My mom's art degree is currently being put to good use as she is currently employed as a nationally successful interior designer. The result of this mixed influence is a high mechanical aptitude with a sensitivity to aesthetics and my own internal interest in innovative and creative designs.
Many of my hobbies reflect my interests in design and engineering. Other hobbies are unrelated things that I'm involved in just for fun. Some examples are listed below.
