Thanks for the warm welcome, @freemo
I'm a work at a medical device start up and have been in several different roles across development, hardware design, quality control, regulatory compliance, product management, and international procurement. Went to school for electrical engineering, and have been migrating into more product/project management over the years.
I'm a passionate advocate for public education and STEM/STEAM initiatives. I always enjoy to learn more in this sector and would love to eventually pivot out of medical device into this industry.
I try to always be actively reading 2-3 books, love eating delicious food and trying new beers. New technology excites me and I am always ready to learn new ideas and gain fresh perspectives.

@mooselwhipes Its great to have you at QOTO. Thats one of the more impressive #introductions . I appreciate all the detail.
I always say if I didnt go into applied sciences I would have been a teacher. I try to make all interactions an education for everyone involved, most of all me.
I wish more people read more. It could be anything. But it is so enriching I really goes a long way to help people be ... better.
@freemo I've always said that being a teacher is my early retirement plan. It would be amazing to take accumulated knowledge and experience into a classroom. There's several programs that assist people in moving from the STEM field into a teaching role.
Reading is such an amazing tool. You're absolutely right that it helps people be better. I also like your approach to make every interaction an educational one. There's so much out there to learn. That's why I joined here!
@mooselwhipes I can see I'm going to like you :)
@mooselwhipes @freemo Here in Germany it's rather easy to become a teacher for the job you once did.
Have a electronics apprenticeship? Becoming an electronics teacher is no problem. You'd just have to study pedagogics.
@commandelicious @freemo We have something similar. There are some state or more local initiatives to help you get your license quicker. Typically depends on the need.
I've toyed around with going ahead and getting licensed to substitute in the area. If worst comes to worst with my current job, I can substitute teach here with my engineering degrees, just need to pass the test.
Because I work in the start-up world, I typically have 2-3 backup plans for if the money ever dries up.

Also thanks for inspiring to share some of my electronics knowledge :)
@mooselwhipes
Welcome here!
You like to teach and educate, I like to learn, that's a match!
@mooselwhipes @freemo Good to have you!
