Karl Stamm
Dr. Karl Stamm is a data scientist, exploring complex spaces to help other curious minds get to what they're looking for. By day, he does math for medical scientists, and in the evenings he's tinkering with electronic toys. Analog electronics are a lot like programming, doing logical processing with audio engages the mind without being on a computer any more than necessary. I've taught calculus, algorithms, and software development, I've been an IT director and cloud engineer. Now raising two kids is the primary concern.

Not sure, I started collecting and playing with modular synths about 2018, then in the pandemic turned it towards DIY: these circuits are all fifty years old so we should be able to hand-craft really good sounding equipment. With the advent of cheap PCB printing, now a hobbyist can make professional looking devices! I can talk about PCB manufacturing for those interested.
