Began as hobby which transitioned years later currently as a hardware engineer within the gaming industry, I've developed a self attainable interest and love for video games that manifested during the early years of my childhood. With great ambition and aspirations, I want to evolve the technology of gaming peripherals and hardware between the interaction of gaming to provide a new experience for the user.

Since 2007, I've been heavily involved in this industry by offering new innovative hardware concepts for playing video games self derived from many years of research,and acquired a myriad of engineering skills along the way by designing, customizing, repairing gaming related technology while offering my services to clients and traveling throughout the US and marketing my skills in major gaming conventions.

With the knowledge that I've gained from video game hardwares, the engineering skills acquired also served as a beneficial foundation and basis of understanding the functional properties of any electronics and enabled me to diagnose and troubleshoot issues and creating a resolution for it.

I have provided services to thousands of satisified clients over the years throughout the US and established my own gaming company in New York City called Tinker Tot Trons, which primarily focuses on the development of arcade joystick controllers and offered customization to enable functional compatibility with multiple gaming system consoles. I have received a great amount of media attention from online journalism as well as movie documentaries that was shown on Comic Con of 2011 and established a reputation that is well recognized within the fighting game community.

Today. I've been involved with major gaming hardware peripheral companies (Razr, Madcatz, Qanba) and worked closely relating to product development by performed intricate and careful hardware testing to maximize the quality assurance for gaming consumers, since it will provide a product with effient functional use as well as an aesthetically attractive, and ergonomically comfortable product to bring the best enjoyable experience for gamers everywhere.

With the abundant of gaming hardware knowledge I have learned through over the years, I want to enlighten any aspiring enthusiast with a general foundation so they can also possess the insight to apply the information universally within the field of electronics and shape the way we use technology in the future.
