TEAM BIOGRAPHIES
Jay Becker
Hey, I’m Jay. I am the founder and creator of this team, and consider myself a “jack-of-most-trades” (which includes things from a brief knowledge of quantum mechanics to basic carpentry). I am especially interesting in anything involving electricity. I know a bit about Android Studio, chassis and robot design, project management, CADing, and engineering logs.
I am currently looking into web design and development and would consider myself an entrepreneur. You can find me at my website, http://jaynky.com/
