Hi everyone!

I wanted to make a quick introduction...I'm Dave, the new guy on the element14 team! I'm going to be helping Randall and the content team here at element14, including the Tech Spotlights, Quizzes and more.

 

My degree was in Electrical Engineering, but I've spent my entire career as a software developer, mainly with Microsoft technologies (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server).

 

One of my interests is in music production and recording studio equipment and I've spent a lot of my time scrounging around for broken equipment and trying to repair it. I've gotten lucky a few times and found some broken gems, but I've also picked up some lemons...case in point:

This poor little 414 I found on eBay wasn't working.  I hoped it was just burned out electronics, but it looks like the capsule needs a reskin, something that's way out of my league!

 

I've got tons of other hobbies, including photography, filmmaking, horseback riding, and mushroom collecting.

 

Anyway, I am very excited to be here and looking forward to the cool projects ahead!

 

Thanks,

Dave

    Welcome to the E14 Community. I'm confident your skills will mesh with the network here. You may also find you are developing other skills. It is kinda hard not to around here with all the talent circulating their ideas.
