I am a lifelong science and engineering fanatic, who was taught to solder at age 5 by grandfather who raised me. After world war-2 he worked in the special weapons program at los alamos new mexico, and on the nuclear rocket propulsion system (NERVA) used to reach the moon (yes, a NERVA engine was indeed carried in the apollo serice module) (shhhh)
So, my exposure to him and everything aerodynamics / flight related had profound effects on my future trajectory.
From model rocketry as a 2nd grader, to flying helicopters in late teens, I had always wanted to be an astronaut. In another adjacent quantum thread I am an astronaut,... I am just currently stuck here in this one, I am assuming to solve some puzzle before getting to switch back.
While here, I've developed extensive experience in electronics, digital logic circuits, computers, RF communications, and robotics. I have been granted 4 US utility patents by the USPTO.With that out of the way,

Beware of Romulans bearing gifts..
