About Me
Problems Solved
My first love was electric motors. But when I attended university, most research was in power electronics. Once in the field, I designed machines and inverters, and I have automated production lines. This is where I really learned to think on my feet. When a robot went down, it had to be up by dawn no matter what. Tell me your problem and I will make it work.
