About me
Hi there!
A Bit More About Me
I got started in electronics in middle school. The late eighties were an amazing time in my country when you had to do everything yourself if you needed something. I built my first amp at thirteen and my first guitar pedal at fifteen. Although I never played guitar myself, my best friend played in a band, keeping me involved. I spent countless hours sketching schematics from radio magazines and scavenging parts from discarded electronics.This hobby eventually led to a Master’s degree in Applied Physics and my first job as an electronics assembler. Later, my career took a turn into IT and computer networking, which I have been doing for almost 20 years now. Another major milestone was immigrating to Canada in 2018. I am currently working as a Technical Architect for one of the biggest telco in Canada, holding Cisco CCNP and Juniper JNCIP certifications, along with several others in Cloud, Cybersecurity, Wireless, etc.
My electronics hobby was on a long pause until about a year ago, when a friend asked me to help their ten-year-old son with his first DYI circuit kit. I realized then how much I missed the smell of rosin flux and little scraps of wire scattered all over the house LOL. It took less than a month to fill a bookcase with tools, boxes of parts, wire bobbins, and old radio chassis. I bough a vintage tube radio, almost the one I had as a teen and fixed it as my first project. There is much more fun to come!
