Greetings from a new member

genebren
genebren over 8 years ago

Still working my way through this site and trying to understand the resources.  I am a semi-retired engineer with more than 40 years of industry experience.  Currently I am consulting with clients on the design and development of products and prototypes (electronics, software and PCB design).  It is fun doing this as a hobby as opposed to full-time as I can be more selective about the types of jobs that I take on.  I have to be careful to leave plenty of time for my own projects, hobbies and grandchildren.

 

I look forward to working within this large and diverse community.

Gene

    Welcome, Gene! I'm not sure how old your grandkids are, but I encourage you to check out the Learning Circuit space. I'll be posting videos about electronics basics and projects that you might be interested in sharing with them. I would also love feedback in what you or they enjoy and what you'd like to see.

    Welcome Gene!

     

    After you get settled in, take a look at our RoadTest group:

     

    RoadTests & Reviews

     

     

    This is one of the popular programs on the element14 community.

     

    A RoadTest is a product review. We send you the product for FREE and all you need to do it provide your professional opinion about it.

     

    Sincerely,

     

    Randall Scasny

    RoadTest Program Manager

    Welcome to the community Gene!

     

    There are plenty of great people here with a wide range of interests and skills.

    Take your time to look around and don't be afraid to jump in with questions, comments and advice.

    I'm sure you have plenty to contribute after a 40 year career!
