I graduated from high school while working on film sets and doing freelance videography in the summers. Around this time I wanted to build my own digital cinema camera. This led me to research everything that went into making these cameras. I learned about the different types of image sensors on the market, as well as operating systems used in embedded devices. This spawned my fascination with technology.
