About Ed

Hi, I'm Ed, the creator of this site. My original background is electronic engineering - with a focus on sensors and analog design. I am also interested in operations research, computer simulation, data mining, economics, and decision science. A few years ago I had the luxury of taking a sabbatical and went back to school to study these things in the Systems Science program at Portland State University. I eventually wound up earning an MS in the subject, as well as a certificate in Computer Simulation and Modeling.

For the day job, I do R&D and design magnetic sensors at Sensata Technologies.

I am also a technical writer and inventor. You can find a summary of my creative works here.

Finally, I also have a number of interests that don't involve computers or transistors. In my spare time enjoy science fiction - both movies and books, and woodworking projects, gardening, and hiking. Also, I play violin and guitar, with a particular interest in baroque music.
