Tom Baum

Engineering Technician

I have been surrounded by electronics my whole life since my father is also an electronics technician. During summer breaks, he would hand my brother and I some small electronic projects to solder/ de-solder and help stage through hole components. Growing up I have been fascinated with the everything works and kept on asking how and why until it finally made sense. Now I still get to ask those how's and why's but also get to figure them out and provide those answers to others.

Questions & Answers

If you were a tool or piece of equipment, what would you be and why?

I would be a pocket knife. It's a universal tool used for cutting, prying, screwing, and a bunch more. As long as you don't mind knowing the edge won't be perfect.

What's your favorite productivity hack or time-saving trick?

I tend to use video game music to help with tasks. The music for video games is designed to be engaging but not distracting to the player. It helps you focus on the task at hand without pulling your attention away.
