    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    Hello! I’m a 25-year-old Computer Engineer living in North Carolina.

    I am a Semiconductor R&D Test Engineer working on chips that go into electric cars! I also do some hobbyist photography.

    I became interested in technology at a very young age. When I was little, more often than not, I spent my time taking apart anything I could get my hands on to figure out how it worked.

    A simple and well-organised Apple desk setup

    I got my first Apple product when I was nine and developed a deep fascination with Apple (something that can be seen throughout my desk setup).

    It was this fascination that inspired me to pursue computer engineering when I went off to university.

    I love what I do at work every day, and the inspiration I get from the way I use Apple products allows me to creatively solve problems.

    One example of this was an OCR to Barcode generator that allowed me to speed up running experiments.

    My eventual goal is to work at Apple in a Hardware Engineering role.

    So if you or anyone you know works there, here is my LinkedIn.

    Take us through your setup

    I like to think of my workspace as three separate parts: the main desk area where I complete my tasks, the vintage side, and then the equipment closet.

    I have been refining my setup for the last 14 years.

    I started out with a $20 IKEA laptop stand in the corner of my parents’ bonus room and worked up from there.
