Hello Element14 Community
Although I nominally joined this community 6 years ago, I have barely touched it... now I aim to get a bit more involved.
I am one of the founder members of Basingstoke Makerspace, as well as recently initiating The Things Network Basingstoke Community - I have a LoRaWAN gateway running, now I just need to develop some nodes and back-end applications using it!
I am a professional chartered engineer, a member of the IET and the IEEE, and a STEM Ambassador in my local community.
I work as an RF and Microwave Hardware Design Engineer, but also have some Embedded Design experience (mainly PIC-based). But I would like to expand my experience of Embedded control (I have started looking at mbed) and other computing such as Python. I would also like to get familiar with KiCAD, as in my professional life I have used PADS, more recently Eagle, and now find myself having to learn to use Altium 18. I would also like to increase my experience with MPASM and XC-8 using the MPLAB IDE.
But most of all I want to be making things, and developing useful stuff to use for STEM activities - and get involved in running some courses and workshops in my local Makerspace.
I would be interested to hear from, connect with and network with like-minded engineers, scientists, mathematicians, crafts-folk and makers in my vicinity and beyond.
