I’m very fortunate to have had a dad who encouraged me to try electronics amongst other things, and we used to buy ‘Everyday Electronics’ magazine and do projects together.

This early exposure and especially the learning that it’s ok to make mistakes, has helped me in life to be confident to try new things, and at least to try to fix things!
Micro-electronics have moved on a long way and I enjoy using my knowledge to design and assemble cutting edge electronics projects for use with Arduinos or Raspberry Pi’s.
