My background:
I’m a a 26 year old Electrical Engineer from Tampa Florida. I grew up with an incredible passion for Engineering and Technology; I quite simply love building stuff. There are nearly no aspects of science and technology that fail to keep my interest, but my core focus is on electricity and electronics. Within that, I mostly work with embedded systems, power electronics, high voltage equipment, communication equipment, and I love tieing it all together with some good old Systems Engineering. Over the years, I’ve worked on countless projects including High Altitude Balloons, UAV’s, Nuclear Fusors (IEC), huge Tesla Coils, Rail & Coil guns, various robotics, Software Defined Radios, portable power systems, energy metering devices, cryptocurrency mining operations, and many more. I’ve had an Amateur Radio license (KJ4AWM) since I was in middle school, and I was president of the X-Labs engineering club at the University of South Florida for approximately four years while I earned my degree. Now I’m employed as an Engineer for the MITRE Corporation where I work in a communications lab on Software Defined Radio (SDR) projects.
Business and entrepreneurship have always fascinated me so I founded Barringer Engineering LLC and Lizard Power Systems to pursue several business ideas. Under Lizard Power Systems, I build and sell small portable power systems packed with bleeding edge technology.
