Mechanical engineer by day, software and electrical engineer by night.
I'm B-ry. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, Bauz, or Bryan Auz if you're not into the whole brevity thing. My formal education is in mechanical engineering and the vast majority of my professional experience follows that path. I started my career with optics and was lucky to fall into something I am so passionate about early on in my career. I confirmed that passion by trying something new, plastic injection molding process engineering, when I left my first job. I quickly realized I did actually enjoy the world of optics and more importantly that the design side of engineering was where I belonged. Manufacturing engineering has its place and the knowledge gained from that experience was extremely valuable but I've found my way back to designing for now. As my career progresses I've found that the crossover points between different engineering disciplines intrigues me. I'll always be learning but now very much enjoy giving of myself as I interact with other bright eyed young engineers not unlike myself years ago.
Somewhere along the way I met some awesome people who opened me up to the world of electronics and software. I was accustomed to the long lead times associated with mechanical parts and as soon as I got the taste of immediacy from compiling code, breadboarding a circuit, or uploading new firmware - I was hooked. Ever since I have been soaking up all of the knowledge I can and have developed quite the hobby of learning new coding languages, circuits, microcontroller platforms, linux distributions, web and email servers, cloud platforms, etc... I am having a blast!
Outside of my career I enjoy working with my hands and fixing things. I spend time working on my e46 m3, building toys for my daughter, 3d printing anything her mind can come up with, and fulfilling the never ending honey do list from my beautiful wife. Speaking of my wife, we have been married since 2016 and have a little girl. I am beyond excited to be a dad and cherish every day I get to watch my daughter grow and learn!
