Hi There! I'm Derek. I am an Electrical Engineer and I enjoy turning ideas into systems that work and solve real-world problems. I am a systems thinker, a tinkerer, and a lifelong learner. I enjoy exploring the intersection of people and technology, and how we can use systems to make our lives better. I am passionate about building things that are useful, elegant, and fun.
This blog is also a way for me to document the journey. Some posts will be about current projects that I am currently working on, and the lessons and technologies I am exploring. Others will look back at things I’ve built, mistakes I’ve made, and ideas that changed how I think.
I’ll also write about subjects outside my day to day work, from books and history to business, cars, philosophy, and anything else that feels worth exploring.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something interesting here!
