Vision & Venture
Where I am headed, how I got here, and what drives the work.
I visualize myself being the most valuable system engineer in the aerospace industry.
This is because I want to leave a legacy and a future to the new generations.
I see myself making the best Real-Time systems that give humanity a step forward to transcend the earth limits.
I am a confident engineer, who looks for the best in every person and environment. I am very open-minded and decided to learn more about our world, always looking for making the things better.
“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”
— Nikola Tesla, quoted on the book Marconi and Tesla: Pioneers of Radio Communication by Tim O’Shei
