Hi, I’m Lee Assam.
I bring to the table over 20 years of professional electrical engineering and software development experience.
My passion for innovation has resulted in several wins in Hack Day competitions. I hold several US Patents and have numerous Patent Applications currently being reviewed. I try to understand how the latest technology can be used to solve business problems and challenges in creative ways.
My hobby is Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the Internet of Things (IoT). I have been playing around with the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi platforms since their inception, and I use my Electrical Engineering background coupled with software development skills to create and develop exciting projects.
I prefer a hands-on, project-based learning approach and use my teaching background to make concepts fun and entertaining, while at the same time educational and informative.
