How I work
Russell has a particular fondness for figuring out how things work and then finding ways to make them work better. His interests span software, infrastructure, IoT, electronics, radio frequencies, 3D printing and all manner of hands-on technology projects. He is equally at home writing code, tinkering with hardware, troubleshooting a stubborn system, or going down an unexpected rabbit hole because something sparked his curiosity.
