Who I Am

I was fascinated in electronics as a child, short-wave radio to begin with, digital electronics and 8-bit microprocessors like the Z80 and 6502 later on. This sparked a fulfilling career in business software - but in recent years at home I have rekindled my interest in electronics. During COVID I played with an Arduino kit, but in 2024 I got to experiment and prototype with the Z80 CPU. I love the relative simplicity, and lack of abstraction of messing with 8-bit processors.

Why I'm on Hackaday.io

I'd like connect with and learn from others who share my interest in electronics and 8 bit technology in particular.
