Hi! I'm George, 58. I've been in hardware and software a long time. An unfinished EE, a BSCS+telecom, and various certs.
I was in amateur radio until 2018. My neighbor got started because of me, and now leads the local club, and is pressuring me to get back into it.
I've been at my current job for 20 years at a Point-Of-Sale manufacturer... Developing firmware and BIOS, drivers, and debugging our hardware designs... Writing diagnostic and utility apps, originally in DOS but now in UEFI.
I found the EEVblog forum when I wondered whether I could do anything about calibrating my ZT-102 multimeter. Modding ensued...

I started buying more cheap DMMs with higher counts from overseas, just to see how well they behaved when modded and/or calibrated. Of course, then I had to buy some accurate benchtop meters and some calibration sources... I think I have the beginnings of TE addiction.
