The PICaBYTE OR DIE team consists of two electronic and two electrical engineering students. Although everyone on the team work together on all of the different elements of the project, each team member is responsible for a specific element. this ensures efficient workflow and that a balanced amount of time is used on each of the elements.

I am responsible for most of the administrative work of the project, as well as for the circuit design. I focus more specifically on designing PCB circuits that can be etched on copper clad. These circuits are more stable and reliable than bread board or stripboard circuit assemblies.
