About farns

Hello! I am a "systems engineer" which means something different to everyone, not wholly unlike "5G". The connecting thread that is I help very talented people build and integrate gadgets, and relate mission needs to engineering innovations. I live in the "seams" and the "specs". I have an EE background and interests in signal processing, autonomous systems, multi-sensor processing, timing & navigation, among other things from 100 millihertz to 100 gigahertz. Nice to meet you, have a great day!

The lack of spell-check was pretty great in helping to focus in on writing. I will try turning that off when I write in the future, returning to the old way of running spell-check …
